Proto-North Caucasian: *q̇welʕǝ (~ -ʡ-, -ō)
Meaning: mouse
Notes: A Lak.-Lezg. isogloss; for phonetic reasons this root must be kept separate from PNC *ɦnǝ̄q̇_wǝ̄ 'mouse' q.v. If we assume a suffix in PD *q̇ur-k:V 'rat' (Ak. q̇urga, Ur. q̇urgu etc.), this form could also belong here (*q̇ur-k:V < *q̇ul-k:V).

Lak root: ḳulu
Meaning: mouse
Lak form: ḳulu
Comments: Cf. Khosr. ḳulu id. The two roots - *ɦnǝ̄q̇_wǝ̄ and *q̇welʕǝ have influenced one another in Lak.: one of them obtained a lateral "suffix" (uIḳulu), the other one - a velar initial (ḳulu; regularly from *q̇welʕǝ q̇ulu or ulu would be expected).
