North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *ḳǝlčwi
Meaning: forelock, plait; horn
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Seems plausible semantically and phonetically (if we take into account usual assimilations in roots with two stops), except for the unexpected loss of labialisation in PL.

Lezghian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Lezghian: *ḳalč / *kalč
Meaning: 1 horn 2 plait, woman's hair
Lezghian: karč 1
Tabasaran: ḳarč 1,2
Agul: ḳarč 1
Rutul: kač 1
Tsakhur: gač 1
Kryz: käč 1
Budukh: kǝrč 1
Comment: The root reveals a strange vacillation of initial *ḳ- (Tab., Ag.), *k:- (Tsakh.) and *k- (all other languages). The oblique base must be reconstructed as *ḳalče- (cf. Ag. ḳarči-, Rut. kači-, Tsakh. gače-); medial *-l- is postulated because of the liquid's preservation in Kryz. and Bud. (*-r- should have vanished in this position). The word belongs to the 3d class in Rut. and Tsakh., but to the 4th in Kryz. and Bud. See Хайдаков 1973, 42.
