Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology

Meaning: a k. of vessel, jar

Proto-Lak: q:Iač̣i

Proto-Lezghian: *q̇(I)eč ( ~ -ä-)

Notes: A Lak-Lezg. isogloss. As usual, in a root with two stops there occur assimilative processes: Lak. reflects a metathesis of labialisation (*q̇_HečwV > *q̇_HwečV), with a subsequent assimilation (*q̇_HwečV > *q̇_HwEč̣V > q:Iʷač̣i). Perhaps we should relate here also Khin. ḳučɨ 'small jug', although the initial velar is irregular (q̇- would be regularly expected).

Lak root: q:Iač̣i

Meaning: a flat earthenware vessel (for filtering milk)

Ket: ɨ:t, pl. ɨ̄reŋ¹ (Bak., Sur. ɨ̄dǝŋ¹), (Kl.) ɨggut

Yug: ɨ:t́, pl. ɨd́eŋ¹

Comments: ССЕ 196. Werner 2, 434 <*ɨgǝt'>: final -t' is incorrect (definitely *-ǯ should be reconstructed), but the emendation of *ɨ̄ (Werner would have had *ɨʔǝ) to *ɨGV (which is suggested by 3d tone and reconstructed *ɨgǝ) is correct: the form *ʔɨ̄ǯ- in КС... is indeed erroneous.
