Lezghian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Lezghian: *wɨnq̇ʷ(a)
Meaning: 1 nest, burrow 2 place 3 trivet 4 near (adv.)
Lezghian: muq̇u-w 4
Tabasaran: muq̇ 1
Agul: muq̇ 2
Rutul: muq̇ 3
Kryz: meq̇a-w 4
Archi: biq̇ʷ 2
Comment: In Arch. cf. pl. boq̇o-t (for weak *q̇ʷ). The original meaning 'place' or 'nest' is preserved in Arch. (where the word also means "case for small objects"), Tab. and Ag. (in Ag. cf. also the derived word muq̇Iuk:en 'chair, stool'). In several languages the meaning shifted to "near" (a rather frequent semantic change), both adverbially and as an adjective, cf. Lezg. muq̇ʷa, Ag. muq̇u 'near (adj.)', Rut. Khnov. muq̇ʷa-da 'near (adv.)'. Initial *w- is indicated by Arch. b-; m- in other languages requires reconstructing the medial nasal -n-.

North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *wɨ̆lq̇wĕ
Meaning: place
Notes: All correspondences are regular. Lak. ḳa-nu (as the similar ša-nu 'bed' q.v.) is a result of regular dropping of the initial syllable beginning with a labial resonant and containing a narrow vowel (ḳa-nu < *wVḳa-nu). The correlation of Av. b-, PA *m-, Lak. *w- (*b-), PL *w- and PWC *P- points to PNC initial *w- and medial *-l- (dropped everywhere, and exceptionally preserved as *-n- in PL). See Abdokov 1983, 90. The PWC-PEC comparison see in Balkarov 1964, 101; 1967, 117 (the comparison of Av. baḳ with other WC data - Kab. baq 'stable', see Acharyan 1, 907 - is unacceptable). Quite improbable is the inner analysis of the PAK form and its comparison with Kartvelian (PK *q̇ana 'field'), see Rogava 1956, 20-21.

Avar-Andian etymology :
Search within this database
Protoform: *moḳʷo
Meaning: 1 place 2 chair, stool 3 mattress, floor-cloth
Avar: baḳ 1,2
Andian language: moḳʷo 1,2
Akhvakh: maḳʷa (Tseg.) 3
Chamalal: maḳʷa 1,2
Tindi: maḳʷa 1,2
Karata: maḳʷa 1
Botlikh: maḳʷa 1,2
Bagvalal: maḳʷa 1,2
Godoberi: maḳʷa (Gudava)1,2
Comments: Av. paradigm C (baḳí-l, báḳa-l) in the meaning "chair"; with the meaning "place" the word has a pronominal declension (gen. báḳa-ʎ:ul). Cf. also Av. báḳa-l-da 'together', (dial.) baḳu 'stool'; Cham. Gig., L.-Gakv., Gad. maḳa 'place; chair'. Several heterogeneous Tsezian forms (Gunz. bɔḳ 'nest; bed'; Bezht. muḳol 'bed'; Inkh. moḳo 'place') are most probably borrowed from different Av.-And. sources.

Dargwa etymology :

Proto-Dargwa: *muq̇(a)
Meaning: nest
Akusha: puq̇a
Chiragh: muq̇
Comments: The initial p- in Ak. is quite enigmatic, but the word is hard to separate from Chir. muq̇, Ur. muq̇a 'nest'. The Ak. word means also 'pit', and is borrowed in Lak. puq̇a 'shanty, hovel'.

Abkhaz-Adyghe etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-West-Caucasian: *p(ǝ)q̇́ʷa
Meaning: 1 place, bed 2 sheath, scabbard
Adyghe: ṗa / ṗʷa 1
Kabardian: ṗa 1
Ubykh: ṗq̇́a 2
Comments: PAK *pʡ(ʷ)a (cf. also Ad. Khakuch. ṗq̇a). It is quite improbable (pace Dumézil 1932, 98 and Shagirov 1977, 2, 44) that the Ub. form is borrowed from Adygh (in this case the reason for palatalisation of Ub. q̇́ would be unclear). The root can not be compared (against the opinion of quoted authors) with the PWC locative morpheme *q́:Ia (q.v.).
