Proto-Lezghian: *ḳʷarč

Proto-Khinalug: ḳučči

Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Although not very widely spread, seems both semantically and phonetically reliable (in Av. there occurred an assimilation in glottalisation - *ḳ- > k-).

Avar-Andian etymology :

Meaning: sole of a sock; (pl.) shabby woollen foot-wear

Avar: koroč (Ants.)

Comments: Quoted from MD. The pl. form is korč-ar, and the singular koroč is probably an analogical neoplasm instead of *korč.
