Avar-Andian etymology :

Search within this database
Protoform: *r[a]c̣i-l
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: 1 joint 2 cartilage, gristle
Avar: c̣il 2
Andian language: rič̣in 1
Akhvakh: rac̣i 1
Chamalal: razil (Gig.) 1
Tindi: rac̣al 1
Bagvalal: rac̣al 1 (Tlond.)
Godoberi: rac̣i 1 (Zib.)
Comments: Av. c̣il (borrowed in And. c̣il) is probably a reduction < *rVc̣il. Very strange are the And. and Akhv. forms: we should expect -c̣- in And., -č̣- in Akhv., not vice versa. The Tind. form is borrowed in Inkh. rac̣c̣al 'joint'.

Lezghian etymology :

Search within this database
Proto-Lezghian: *hIic̣-
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: 1 ankle 2 joint 3 shin, shank
Agul: ic̣ul 1,2
Rutul: jic̣ɨn 2
Kryz: ʕac̣a (ǯiga) 3
Comment: Cf. also Ag. Bursh. c̣ul/jic̣ul 'joint; vertebra', Fit., Burk. ic̣ul 'vertebra'. The Kryz. form literally means "a full (ʕac̣a) place", which is of course a folk etymology. The root occurs only with suffixes (-ul in Ag., -a < *-aj in Kryz., -in in Rut.). An expressive modification (phonetically not quite clear) of the same root may be Tab. bic̣nac̣ 'joint; ankle'.
