Proto-North Caucasian: *=iqăr
Meaning: to weave
Proto-West Caucasian: *χa Notes: An important common NC cultural term. The verb is preserved only in WC and in the Eastern Daghestan area (PL, Khin.); Av., Lak., Darg. and PTs have preserved only the reflexes of the nominal derivate *qwVrHV 'something woven' (probably < *wiqVrHV). The same derivate (with metathesis) is reflected in PL *ruχ(a).

Lezghian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Lezghian: *ʔiχar
Meaning: to weave
Lezghian: χra-
Tabasaran: u=χ-
Rutul: =ɨχɨrχa-
Tsakhur: q-e=χa-
Kryz: χɨr-
Budukh: s-o=χ-
Comment: The root reveals different Ablaut grades: *ʔiχar- (Tab. u=χ-uz < *ʔi-χ(r)-us: with vowel assimilation; Lezg. χra-z, praet. χra-na, Kryz. χɨr-iǯ with Anlaut *ʔi-reduction) / *ʔoχVr-, sometimes with reduplication *χoχVr- (Lezg. imper. χuruχ, Rut. =ɨ-χɨrχ-as, Kryz. dur. χɨχr-i) / *ʔäχVr- (Tsakh. q-eχa-s, Kryz. imper. s-äχɨr). In some languages (Lezg., lit. Tab., Kryz. and Bud.) the root also means 'to knit' - which is a result of contamination with PL *ʔiχ:ʷar q.v. The verb has some nominal derivates:
a) PL *ruχ(a) > Lezg. ruχ 'carpet, rug', Kryz. ruχ id.;
b) PL *b-ärχa-l(a) ( < *b-äχra-l(a)) 'carpet, rug' (Tab. barχal, Ag. barχIal, Fit. barχil; Ag. > Darg. Chir. parχil id.). A variation of the same stem (with initial reduction) may be Rut. Shin. χɨli 'carpet, rug'.
c) PL *χa-na ( < *(ʔi)χar-na) > Tsakh. χana 'loom', Kryz. χänä 'warp'.

Proto-West-Caucasian: *χa
Meaning: 1 to weave 2 to knit
Abkhaz: a-ħa-rá 1
Abaza: -ħa-ra 1
Adyghe: χa-n 2
Kabardian: χa-n 2
Ubykh: χa- 2
Comments: PAT *ħa (in Abaz. the root is used only with preverbs); PAK *χa- (also *χǝ- > Ad., Kab. χǝ-n id.); Ub. a-s-χá-n. See Mészáros 1934, 384, Shagirov 2, 109; the alternative comparison of PAK *χǝ- with PAT *xaxa- 'to spin' is unacceptable for phonetic reasons.
