Proto-North Caucasian: *G_ōlʔe ( ~ -a)
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: wheat
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *q̇:iru
Proto-Tsezian: *qɨ
Proto-Lezghian: *q:ol / *q:Iol
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Correspondences are regular. Abdokov (1983, 106) compares the EC root with PAK *ʁa- (in compounds like *ʁa-zʷá 'crops'), but Shagirov (1, 123) is probably right in identifying this element with PAK *ʁa 'season, time'.

Lezghian etymology :

Search within this database
Proto-Lezghian: *q:ola / *q:Iola
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: wheat
Lezghian: q:ül
Rutul: ʁɨl
Kryz: q:ul
Budukh: q:ul
Archi: qoqol
Comment: Cf. also Lezg. Khl. q:ül. 3d class in Rut., Arch., but 4th class in Kryz and Bud. There is a vacillation between reflexes of PL *o and *oI (just as in the name of "rye", PL *s:ol q.v.); the pharyngealized variant is reflected in Lezg. and Kryz (without pharyngealisation we would have Lezg. q:ul and Kryz. q:ɨl). The Arch. form is reduplicated. The obl. base can be reconstructed as *q:(I)olä- (cf. Rut. ʁɨ́la-).
