North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *čwǝ̆rq_ū (~ -l-)
Meaning: sheep, lamb
Notes: The root is, actually, an Avar-Nakh isogloss (the Darg. form may be borrowed). However, the correspondences seem to be regular and the PEC form can be reconstructed (although with some doubt). Neither PN nor Av. have Inlaut resonants here, but the presence of *-r- or *-l- is suggested by the correspondence -χ- : -q:- (without the resonant -q- would be preserved in PN).
