Comments: Most languages reflect stem I *hanq̇:- (~ -o-) with expressive suffixes *-ž-/*-č- (Av. q̇:eč,q̇:ečé-ze is contracted < *HVnq̇:e-č-; -ḳ- in Cham. is irregular, possibly a misspelling). Cf. also Akhv. Tseg., Tlan. aq̇:ač-, Kar. Tok. hinq̇:iš:- (with yet another expressive suffix, probably also present in a reduplicated form: God. q̇:inq̇:iš:i 'miser, greedy man').
Stem II *q̇:in- is reflected in And., Botl. and God. with the meaning 'greedy' (for the semantics cf. Russ. жажда - жадный et al.).
