Proto-Basque: *Koroc
Meaning: dung (of livestock)
Bizkaian: gorotz, korotz
Gipuzkoan: gorotz
High Navarrese: gorotz, korotz
Low Navarrese: gorotz, khorotz
Lapurdian: gorotz, korotz
Zuberoan: gorotz, khorotz
Roncalese: gorotz
Comments: Trask (1995), following Corominas & Pascual, derives this word from Lat. crocea 'saffron-colored' (!). Agud & Tovar mention another fantastic derivation (Griera) from culotz 'the points that lie on burning coal piles'. Cf. instead PEC *ḳ[u]rč̣V ~ *ḳ[u]rć̣V, with the simple semantic equation of 'dung' = 'dung'.

North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *ḳ[u]rč̣V (~ -ć̣-)
Meaning: dung, excrements
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Vocalic correspondences are not quite clear (because of the root's expressive nature). In Khin. there occurred a dissimilative deglottalisation -č̣ > -č (usual in roots of this type). The root probably denoted excrements of small animals or birds (cf. the semantic reflexes in most languages).

Meaning: dung: 1 of small animals 2 of birds 3 of sheep
Kryz: ḳäč̣, ḳäč̣e 1
Budukh: ḳič̣aʡ 2
Archi: ḳurč̣ 3
Comment: An expressive root with some violation of vocalic correspondences (Kryz. -ä- is irregular); Bud. and the Kryz. variant ḳäč̣e reflect a suffixed form (with a rare laryngeal suffix). 4th class in all languages.
