Lezghian etymology :

Search within this database
Proto-Lezghian: *hIiq̇Iʷɨ-
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: heavy
Tabasaran: aq̇Iu-v (Düb.)
Agul: jarq̇ʷe-f
Rutul: juq̇I-dɨ
Tsakhur: jɨq̇Iɨ-n
Kryz: ʕaḳ
Budukh: herḳi
Archi: iq̇Iʷ
Udi: b-iIhi/b-iIʁi
Comment: Ruite enigmatic is the velar ḳ in Shakhdagh; otherwise the correspondences are quite regular (the Ud. form goes back to *wiq̇I- < *hIiq̇Iʷ-). -r- in Ag. and Bud. is an infix (probably, old durative).

    See Гигинейшвили 1977, 138.

North Caucasian etymology :

Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *ɦĕq̇wV
Meaning: heavy
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *ħoḳV-
Proto-Tsezian: *=ɔq̇(u) A
Proto-Lak: ḳu-
Proto-Dargwa: *=eḳʷ-
Proto-Lezghian: *hIiq̇Iʷɨ-
Proto-West Caucasian: *Tq̇ʷa
Notes: The root has changing class prefixes (or their reflexes) in Av., PTs and PD; it is hard to determine in this case whether this is is an archaism or an innovation. Phonetic correspondences are regular (except for the vowel -i- in PL, where one would rather expect -ä-; this is probably due to the PL Ablaut *ä/i).

Comments: PTsKh *=oq̇I(u), PGB *-ɔq̇V-ju (-o- in Gunz. is either a result of misspelling instead of ɔ, or a result of assimilation to the following u). Cf. also a PTs derivate *r-ɔq̇ "burden" > Tsez. roq̇I, Gin. roq̇, Gunz. roq̇, Bezht. Tlad. räq̇.

Proto-West-Caucasian: *Tq̇ʷa
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: heavy
Ubykh: ǵǝ́-(n)-ṭq̇ʷa
Comments: The first part of the Ub. compound is ǵǝ- 'heart, middle'. The second part has no parallels in WC (which is why the reconstruction is rather tentative), but has rather reliable EC parallels. The initial T- is probably a (class) prefix.
