Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Several languages have preserved the old derivate *swinV (*=aswinV) 'glue'. Labialisation as such has been lost in all reflexes (-u- in Arch. s:us:ǝ- may be a reminiscent of it), but can be securely reconstructed for the correspondence Av., PA, Lak. s : PD, PL *s:.

Tsakhur: ǵ-a=s:an- 4

Kryz: q:-isn- (dur.)5

Archi: s:us:ǝ-bos 1

Comment: Cf. also Lezg. asun 'plastering, white-washing', Nüt. asã- 'to smear, plaster' (showing that the meaning 'to pull on' in Lezg. hal-s- is a secondary semantic development due to the preverb). Archi has preserved only a reduplicated stem (in a compound verb). The verb belongs to the strong PL conjugation class.
