Lak root: q:ʷar
Meaning: udder
Lak form: q:ar
Comments: q:ar is orthographic (Khaidakov writes: q:ʷar). Cf. Khosr. q:ʷal 'udder' indicating that -r in literary Lak. is secondary (either under influence of words like quru 'brisket', qara-lu 'on the shoulder' or under Avar influence).

Proto-Basque: *buɫha-r̄
Meaning: breast (chest)
Bizkaian: bular
Gipuzkoan: bular
High Navarrese: bular
Low Navarrese: bulhar
Salazarese: bular
Lapurdian: bulhar
Baztanese: bular
Aezkoan: bular
Zuberoan: búlhar
Roncalese: búrar, búdar
Comments: Trask (1995, 1997) discusses whether *burar or *bular is original, noting Michelena (1961) suggested *burar. 'chest' appears to be the original meaning ... also used for 'female breast' ... specialized in this sense in Gipuzkoan" (Trask 1997). A development of *burha-r̄ > *buɫha-r̄ is also possible in this model.
