Comment: The original meaning was probably "a tight plait", used for making ladders and other artefacts, which explains the wide variety of meanings in modern languages. Phonetic notes: Ag., Rut. and Tsakh. reflect a form with dissimilation ( *č̣- > *č-; cf., however, Tsakh. proper č̣iq̇). The obl. base is *č̣iq̇ɨ-, cf. Ag. čiq̇i-, Tsakh. (Tsakh.) č̣iq̇ɨ-.
