North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *dū
Meaning: thou (obl. base)
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *du-
Proto-Tsezian: *dɨ- A
Proto-Dargwa: *-t(:)
Proto-Lezghian: *-it:-
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level (there are no traces of this pronoun in PWC). The root is well preserved in the Western (Av.-And.-Tsez.) area, and has almost disappeared in other languages, except Archi and Darg. dialects. It must have been originally the dative stem in the complicated suppletive paradigm of the 2d p. sing. pronoun (dir. *u_ō / *ʁwV̄, erg. *ʔoʁwV-, gen. *ʔiu_-, dat. *dū-). It has preserved its function in Darg., shifted to genitive in PL (Archi; note that Arch. dative wa-s is an obvious innovation), and became the general oblique stem in Av.-And.-Tsezian.

Comments: The stem *du- is used in Av.-And. languages in all cases except nominative and ergative (where *mi-n, Av. mu-n is used; Avar uses du- also in ergative, having thus restricted mun to the nominative case).

Chiragh: ʕa-t
Comments: Attested only in the Chirag dialect, in a compound with the normal 2d p. pronoun ʕu ( < *ħu): Chir. ʕat < *ħ(ʷ)a-t:(V). But cf. also the lit. ending of the 2d p. future -d.

Proto-Lezghian: *-it:-
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: thou (obl. base)
Archi: w-it
Comment: This archaic pronominal stem is preserved only in the Archi genitive wit (where w- is a class prefix, like in w-is (1st p. sing.), ulu ( < w-olo, 1st p. plur.), w-iš (2d p. plur.)). Note that the Ag. (Fit.) genitive wit has nothing to do with the Archi form: it contains the PL attributive morpheme *-t:V > -t, common to all pronouns (zi-t, xi-t, či-t, kü-t).
