Proto-North Caucasian: *ɦwVmṭV
Meaning: red
Notes: The adjectival root itself is reconstructed only for the PEC level; there are, however, two common NC nominal stems meaning "worm" and probably derived from the same root (the meanings "worm" and "red" are closely related, cf. Indo-European): PNC *bēmṭV and *ɦwe(m)ṭi q.v. (the first probably contains the class prefix *b-, cf. the adjectival form *p:-a(m)ṭar- in PL).

Proto-Lezghian: *p:-a(m)ṭar-
Meaning: beautiful, handsome
Agul: baṭar-f
Rutul: bɨṭra-
Tsakhur: baṭra-jɨn
Comment: The initial *p:- (*b-) is a former class prefix (to judge from external evidence). We reconstruct medial *(m) which should have been there if the EC etymology is right; all the available languages (Ag., Rut. and Tsakh.) regularly drop *-m- before dentals in consonant clusters.
