Proto-North Caucasian: *dwǝ̆nʔV
Meaning: a k. of musical instrument
Notes: An expressive (but obviously archaic) root. Irregular is -b- in PTs (and -b- in Tab.): -m- should be expected. It is not quite clear, whether the protoform should be *dwānʔV (with transfer of labialisation to -n- > -m- in some languages) or *dāmʔV (with a reverse process).
