Nakh etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Nakh: *barVg
Meaning: pick-axe
Chechen: berg
Batsbi: brag
Comments: In literary Chech. the root is present only as a compound element of zʕok-berg 'pick-axe'; cf., however, Itumk., Khild. berg id. For Bacbian Matsiyev adduces also a form barg 'hammer for incising the mill-stone' which is probably a variant of the same root.

Lezghian etymology :

Proto-Lezghian: *p:ul[k]
Meaning: hammer
Rutul: burḳ (Ikhr.)
Archi: burk
Comment: The variation between Arch. k ( < *k or *k:) and Rut. ḳ ( < *ḳ) is unclear (we should expect *k:, thus something is wrong with the Rut. form). Medial *-l- (not *-r-) is reconstructed on basis of Arch. -r- before a velar (*-r- would have disappeared).
