Eurasiatic: *[s]iKV
Meaning: thick, congeal
Comments: Consonants unclear, perhaps because of root confusion.
References: ND 478 *ĉ̣iḲV 'tight, narrow, dense' (partially also 2192 *ŝiḲU 'to get cold, cool' - same Ural. in both cases; Alt. *ši̯ogo 'cold' and SSem. *šḳḳ- hardly belong here). ND 478 compares SH *ṣ̂Vḳ- 'narrow, tight'; but if the original meaning was 'thick, congeal' cf. NC *č̣Hɨ̆xq̇wẮ 'resin'?). Cf. *sVḳV. nostret-meaning,nostret-ura,nostret-drav,nostret-notes,nostret-reference,
