Proto-Dargwa: *xu-

Proto-Lezghian: *ʎ:ʷe-

Proto-Khinalug: pxu

Proto-West Caucasian: *s-xʷǝ

Notes: The WC form has a prefix of unknown origin; despite this, and the lack of the expected palatalisation (*-x́ʷǝ would be rather expected), there can be no doubt in the common origin of the EC and WC forms. The rules of palatalisation are violated in WC numerals (cf. also EC *ƛHĕ 'three' : WC *ʎ:V), possibly because of original Ablaut.

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: five

Lezghian: wa-d

Tabasaran: xu-b

Agul: ʕafu-d

Rutul: xu-d

Tsakhur: xo-llä

Kryz: fɨ-d

Budukh: fɨ-d

Archi: ʎ:o, ʎ:ʷe-jṭu

Udi: qo

Comment: Initial ʕa- in Ag. is unclear (cf. in other dialects: Bursh. jiš̌u-r, Fit. jüfü-d, Burk. ifa-d; here the PL numeral obtained the initial ji- (je-) on analogy with *jewq̇ɨ- 'four' q.v.).

Rather interesting is the Archi word for 'fifty': buχ:í (not buʎ:í). Since Archi names for tens are usually formed from simple numerals, this form presupposes *χ:ʷe 'five' - which can reflect PL *χ:ʷä (from a lax PEC variant *fɦä̆).

See Гигинейшвили 1977, 97.
