Proto-North Caucasian: *q̇_HwŏšwV
Meaning: heel, ankle
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Correspondences are regular (except Lak. -r- which must be secondary; other languages have no trace of any medial resonant). There are also several similar forms which are difficult to separate from this root (cf. the semantic correlation "hoof" : "inch" within PTs), but are rather obscure phonetically: Inkh. ʁošo 'handful', Darg. qaIš in qaIš-č̣im 'inch', Ud. q:ošIa- in q:ošIa-maʁ 'handful'. They are not enough to reconstruct a separate root (and do not correspond to each other well enough).
