Proto-Lezghian: *ʎ:ʷV
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: 1 together 2 near 3 series Ad
Lezghian: -v 3
Tabasaran: -x (f-) 3
Agul: -v 3
Rutul: -xʷ 3

Archi: ʎ:ʷa 1, ʎ:ʷa-k 2; -ʎ:u comitative
Udi: -χ dative, -χo ablative, -χo-l comitative, -χu-n 'while'
Comment: The root is an original adverb, and is preserved in Arch. in this function: ʎ:ʷa 'together', ʎ:ʷa-k 'near' (cf. perhaps also Rut. xur-baj 'in front'?). In all other Lezghian languages it is preserved only as a case suffix (this function had been present already in PL, cf. Arch. -ʎ:u id.) or a preverb meaning 'near, by'.
