Proto-Sino-Caucasian: *GwVɫŏ
Meaning: side; half
Comments and references : HGC 26, WFR 35, LV C8. PST *qālH 'burden, back' should be rather compared with PNC *χ_[ä]lʔV `burden, load' (see *[χ]VlʔV). 5th tone in Ket may reflect *-ʔ-, which would contradict lax type in NC, but may also be a misrecording or also a secondary influence of the root *[χ]V́lʔV. sccet-meaning,sccet-cauc,sccet-yen,sccet-notes,

Proto-North Caucasian: *Gw[ü̆]ɫŏ (~-ǝ̆)

Notes: The comparison is reliable both phonetically and semantically. There is some uncertainty about the vocalic reconstruction (since there are general doubts about the vowel reconstructed as *ü).

Proto-West-Caucasian: *(bǝ)ʁ́ʷV
Meaning: side
Adyghe: bʁʷǝ
Kabardian: bʁʷǝ
Ubykh: ʁ́a-ḳ́á
Comments: PAK *bʁʷǝ; the Ub. form contains a frequent singular suffix -ḳ́(a). Shagirov (1977) compares the AK form to PAT *ɣʷǝ 'board', Ub. ʁʷǝ 'post' (PWC *Gʷǝ), which seems much less trustworthy. The initial *b- of the PAK form is a historical prefix.

Yenisseian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Yenisseian: *χɔlab
Meaning: side, half
Ket: qɔĺap5
Yug: xɔlap5
Kottish: halap, pl. -aŋ "half"
Arin: qubur- / qurbur- in qubur-saj (М., Сл.), qurbur-saj (Кл.) "midnight"
Pumpokol: kólpar (Сл., Кл.), kolpar (Срсл.) "back"
Comments: ССЕ 304. The root should be distinguished from *χɔb- "back" (q. v.), although they could interact. On the other hand, *χɔlap "side" is difficult to separate from *χol- "cheek" (q.v.) - so the original protoform should be possibly reconstructed as *χolap (with Kott. halap < *holap through assimilation). Werner 2, 99 <*qolǝp>; doubts the attribution of the Arin and Pump. forms, which, I think, is hardly justified.
