North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *ǯīlV ( ~ -ē-,-ā-,-ɫ-)
Meaning: wattle; pen
Notes: The PN, Tsez. and Lezg. words are no doubt connected, but the PEC antiquity of the root is dubious: Tsez. could have borrowed it from Nakh, Lezg. - from some other source (PL reconstruction is dubious because the word is attested only in Lezg. proper, and because PL *ž- is a rather rare reflex of *ǯ-; if the word were genuine, we would rather expect PL *č:- > Lezg. č:-). Therefore the PEC reconstruction is very tentative in this case.
