Notes: This root is probably reflected also in HU: Hurr. taɣǝ 'man, male' (see Diakonoff-Starostin 1986, 26). There is not enough information to reconstruct the vocalism. *-r- is obligatory in the reconstruction to account for the preservation of uvular *-q̇ʷ- ( > Av. -ʕ-) in Inlaut; without a previous liquid *-q̇ʷ- regularly yields -ḳ-.
