Meaning: a k. of vessel
Proto-Nakh: *baṭṭV-m ( ~ ā,tt)
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *mic̣:ʷi / *c̣:ʷimi
Proto-Lezghian: *(mo)c̣:ʷir
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Not very reliable, because of the strange behaviour of the stem in Lezghian languages; besides, labialised -ʒw- should not have yielded -ṭṭ- in a cluster in PN. Contaminations of originally different roots may be the reason (see above).

Protoform: *mic̣:ʷi / *c̣:ʷimi
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: jar, pot
Akhvakh: c̣:uni / c̣:ũ
Karata: muc̣:i (Tok.)
Comments: In Akhv. a variant c̣:ʷani is also attested. In fact, the variant c̣:uni may reflect another PA root (see *c̣:umV- 'pointed'), because the MSU records give for this word a meaning 'spout of a jar' (not 'jar').

Lezghian etymology :

Proto-Lezghian: *(mo)c̣:ʷir
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: spoon
Lezghian: ṭur
Tabasaran: muč:̌ur
Agul: t:ur
Rutul: dur
Kryz: tɨr
Budukh: tur
Comment: 3d class in all class-distinguishing languages. Cf. also Lezg. Khl. t:ur. External parallels make us believe that the Tab. form is the most archaic (muč:̌ur < *moc̣:ʷi-r with -r originally as a suffix); but reasons for loss of *mo- in all other languages are unclear (such a loss is regular only for Lezg.). We may deal here with a secondary contamination with a quite different EC root, reflected in Bezht. c̣oro 'scoop', Cham. č̣ora 'mug'. See Талибов 1980, 264.
