Proto-Sino-Caucasian: *HV́xGV
Meaning: twenty
Comments and references : BCD 28. The PST form for 20 is *kul, which is rather difficult to derive from *HV́xGV. This form, however, could have been a merger with *kul 'all', and it is interesting to note an apparently archaic form: Lepcha kha '20', hardly derivable from *kul.

Proto-North Caucasian: *G_ǝ̆
Meaning: twenty
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Correspondences are regular. In PN the initial dental is possibly a trace of an original class prefix (it can hardly be explained in any other way). The only subgroup which has lost this archaic numeral is Andian (where 'twenty' is formed by 'two' + 'ten').
