Proto-Tsezian: *ko-LV (~-u-,-L:-)

Proto-Dargwa: *dulk:ʷa

Proto-Lezghian: *loƛ:(a)

Notes: Reconstructed for the EC level. The PD (*dulk:ʷa < *duluk:a) and PL form point to the PEC structure *HRVCV̄; this should have given *HVRCV (in this case, *HulŁV) in Avaro-Ando-Cezian languages. However,the root was preserved only within a compound with *kwīlʡɨ'hand', and the first syllable was reduced both in Avaro-Andian and Cezian languages. In general, the comparison seems quite plausible.
