Proto-North Caucasian: *=ǟḳĂw
Meaning: to put (together), take; to lie, fall
Proto-West Caucasian: *ḳǝ Notes: Cf. also Hurr. k/geb-, χew-, k/ge(w)- (HU *ḳew-) 'to put', see Diakonoff-Starostin 1986, 56-57. The basic meaning of the verb is 'to put (together)' / 'to be put together, to lie' (whence also 'to fall, to fall apart' etc.). The semantic range is so wide that we may suspect that we deal with two originally different roots; they have, however, become so entangled that it is very hard to distinguish two original protoforms.

Avar-Andian etymology :
Search within this database
Protoform: *=Vḳ- / *ḳV-b-
Meaning: 1 to put together 2 lie 3 fall down 4 take,collect
Avar: =aḳ-ár- 1
Chadakolob: =aḳ-ár- 1
Akhvakh: ḳonu- 2
Chamalal: ḳob- 4 (Gig.)
Tindi: ḳab-d- 3
Comments: Cf. also Akhv. Tseg. ḳom-, Ratl. ḳʷam- 'to lie', perhaps also Akhv. =iḳʷ-oʎ- 'to put on (cap, hat)'. Avar reflects here stem I (*=Vḳ-), Andian languages - stem II with suffixes (*ḳV-b- / *ḳV-m-). The semantic correlation 'to gather, put together' : *'to be put together' > 'to lie, fall' is the same as in some other EC subgroups. Av. > And. =aḳar-undi 'to gather', Bezht. =aḳarzi =aq id. (cf. the South Av. infinitive =aḳar-zi, Chad. =aḳár-ži).

Proto-Tsezian: *=eḳʷ-
Meaning: 1 to fall 2 to gather, to (be) put together
Khvarshi: =eḳ- 1
Inkhokvari: =eḳʷ- 1
Bezhta: =oḳ- 2
Gunzib: =oḳ- 2
Comments: PTsKh *=eḳʷ- ( ~ -ö-); PGB *=oḳ-. In Bezht. the intransitive verb is usually compound: =iḳo =oḳ- (where =iḳo is another Ablaut grade of the same verb). Cf. also the derivate: Gunz. r-oḳali 'rake' ('tool for gathering, raking up'); perhaps also PGB *g-uḳ- (Bezht., Gunz. g-uḳ-) 'to put on (hat, cap)'.
