North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *=Hŏq̇_Ē
Meaning: to do, make; to be, become
Notes: Trubetzkoy 1930,87 compares WC *q́I:a 'to be' with another PEC stem (*ʔikV q.v.), which is impossible for phonetic reasons. The comparison with *=Hŏq̇_Ē seems quite plausible semantically and phonetically. A similar root exists in Kartvelian (Georg. q̇a-w- 'to be, to have'); its comparison with WC see in Charaya 1912, 37, Lomtatidze 1956, 225, 228; the nature of its connection with the NC root is yet to be cleared up.

Meaning: to do, to make
Chiragh: =arq̇- / =irq̇-
Comments: Cf. also Ur. =aIq̇- / =iq̇- id. Medial -r- in Chir. is probably secondary (perhaps reflecting the original paradigm *=aq̇- / *=irq̇- with infixation).

Proto-West-Caucasian: *q́:Ia
Meaning: 1 to be 2 to have

Abaza: a-ʡa-z-la-ra 1
Adyghe: -ʡa- 1,2

Comments: PAT *ʡa (used in conjunction with the verbal stem-suffix *-la-); PAK *ʡa in *š́ǝ-ʡa- 'to be' (Ad. š́ǝʡa-, Kab. śǝʡa- with a locative preverb *š́ǝ-), *jǝ-ʡa- 'to have' (Ad., Kab. jǝʡa- with a pronominal preverb *jǝ-); Ub. a-s-q̇á-ʁ "je l'ai" (a compound stem q̇a-ʁǝ-; etymology of the second part see under *ʁV). The correspondence PAT, PAK *ʡ : Ub. q̇ points only to PWC *q́:I. See Shagirov 1,190; 2, 150 (with literature and with right dismissal of many false etymologies).
