North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *dVlVgV
Meaning: a small wild animal
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The vocalism is hard to reconstruct in a trisyllabic root with some irregular phonetic changes (due to the root's expressive nature). It is interesting to note Azer. dälä 'squirrel' (possibly < *däläg), which has no Turk. etymology and thus may be borrowed from an EC source (the Azer. word, in its turn, is borrowed in Kryz. dälä, Khin. delä 'squirrel').

Meaning: bat
Kottish: tagála (М., Сл., Кл.); Ass. tagalá (М., Сл., Кл.)
Pumpokol: dágo-úte (Сл.)
Comments: ССЕ 219. In Ket cf. (КРС) tʌguĺop, toulop, tʌgulep, tʌgɨĺop 'weasel' - although initial t- is irregular (analogy with ta:ĺ 'otter'? or a reinterpretation as *tǝga(L)+koʔp lit. "breasty chipmuck"??; Werner 2, 296 suggests an unidentified tʌ- + *kulVp 'ermine' ). An interpretation of Костяков 1981 (derivation from *dōq- 'to fly') is also not excluded.
