Word: почи́ть,
Near etymology: 3 л. ед. ч. почи́ет, итер. почива́ть, укр. спочива́ти "спать", ст.-слав. почити, почиѭ ἀναπαύειν (Супр.), болг. почи́на, почи́вам (си), сербохорв. по̀чинути "отдохнуть, скончаться", словен. počíti, роčȋjеm, чеш. od-počinouti, слвц. оdроčinút᾽, польск. оdросzуwас́, в.-луж. wоtроčоwас́, н.-луж. wótросуwаś.
Further etymology: Праслав. *počiti, связано чередованием гласных с *роkоjь (см. поко́й). Далее сюда же относятся др.-инд. cirás "продолжительный, долгий", лат. quiēs "покой", quiēscō, quiēvī "покоиться", tranquīlus, tranquillus "спокойный, тихий" (*transquilnos), гот. ƕeila "время, досуг" (Бернекер 1, 166; Траутман, ВSW 124; Вальде--Гофм. 2, 406; Уленбек, Aind. Wb. 91; Торп 117). Без достаточных оснований в этой этимологии слова почи́ть сомневается Брюкнер (KZ 51, 227), который сравнивает слав. слова с др.-прусск. etskīuns "воскресший", et-skīsnan "воскресение". Последнее едва ли более вероятно.

Tabasaran: d-aq-
Agul: aqu xas
Archi: a=χa-
Comment: The Arch. form can belong both here and to the PL *ʔaχär- 'sleep, lie' q.v. The original meaning of PL *ʔaqɨ- must have been 'to fall, to become spilled, scattered', cf. Ag. l-aqa-s (Bursh. aqi-s) 'to scatter, spill, get scattered' (cf. also in Tab. without the d- preverb aq- 'to fall'), Arch. c-a=χa- 'to fall; to throw' (with an expressive preverb) and possibly also Lezg. al-aq- 'to stick, adhere', Ag. ʕ-aq- (Bursh. ʕ-aqi-) 'to mix'.

    Cf. also Tab. al-a=q-, Düb. h-a=q-, Ag. ʕat:-aq- 'to meet, encounter' (*"to fall upon") - which may have obtained its meaning due to the influence of PL *ʔiqɨ- 'to find' (q.v.), or may, in fact, provide a link between these two roots (stems): see PEC *=iq_wV.
