North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *rVHVnƛ_wV̆ (/*HVrVnƛ_wV̆)
Meaning: some internal organ
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The listed forms are very probably related, but precise reconstruction of the PEC root is rather difficult because of its complicated structure (trisyllabic - as clearly seen from the PN form) and metatheses.

Nakh etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Nakh: *daHVχ
Meaning: liver
Chechen: doʕaχ
Ingush: dijχk
Batsbi: dʕeʔ
Comments: The PN reconstruction presents some difficulties. Chech. points to *-u- in the 2d syllable (doʕaχ < *daHuχ), Ing. - to *-i- (dīχk < *daHiχ-iḳ with a diminutive suffix) and Bacb. - to *-e-. Final -ʔ in Bacb. is probably a re- sult of assimilation (spirant -χ > laryngeal); anyway, it is impossible to separate the Bacb. form from Chech. and Ing. The word belongs to the 3d class in all languages.

Protoform: *riƛ:V
Meaning: diaphragm
Tindi: reƛ:a-ƛ:a riƛ̣:i
Comments: The Tindi expression means literally "flesh of the diaphragm". The same root is probably reflected in the PA compound meaning "liver", *riƛ̣a-jiƛ:i < *riƛ̣a-riƛ:i q.v.

Meaning: belly (exterior part)
Tsezi: ʎara

Comments: PTsKh *ʎ[a]RV. Because of its meaning, the word should be kept distant from *LVrV 'besom' q.v.

Lezghian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Lezghian: *neʎ:ʷ-
Meaning: placenta
Lezghian: gen
Rutul: nixrä
Comment: For labialisation cf. Lezg. Akht. gʷen. Since evidence is rather scanty, the root is difficult to reconstruct. The original form must have been something like *neƛʷ; the Rutul form probably reflects an original plural (cf. Lezg. gener), while in Lezg. there occurred a metathesis.
