Protoform: *ħaʔi
Meaning: team-work (followed by regalement)
Avar: gʷaj
Andian language: haj (Leksika)
Akhvakh: he (Leksika)
Tindi: haj (Leksika)
Karata: haʕe (Leksika)
Comments: Av. paradigm B ~ C (loc. gʷawú-ƛ̣:). All the Andian data are taken from Leksika 1971; the MSU recordings list only Avar loanwords with the meaning "team-work" (And. gʷaj, Akhv. gʷē, Cham. gʷaj, Tind. gʷā). The Avar word is also borrowed in Tsez., Inkh. gʷaj; a dialectal or Old Avar form *gʷah is borrowed in Arch. gʷah, Bezht., Gunz. gahi.
Av. gʷaj : PA *ħaʔi is one of the rare cases of the g :h correspondence (going back to the hypothetic PEC *ɣ).
