Protoform: *=oxʷVn-
Meaning: 1 to bind, tie 2 to knit, plait
Avar: =uxn- 1
Chadakolob: =uxn- 1
Andian language: =ošin- 1
Karata: =exux- 2
Comments: Cf. also a reduplicated stem in Av. xuxn- (Chad. xux-) 'to knit, plait' ( = Kar. =exux-). It is interesting to note Cham. =aʎiʎa-d- 'to knit, plait' which probably reflects an early variant of the same stem with delabialisation (and, accordingly, preservation of the lateral *ʎ).
