Comments: Cf. also Akhv. Tseg. ḳom-, Ratl. ḳʷam- 'to lie', perhaps also Akhv. =iḳʷ-oʎ- 'to put on (cap, hat)'. Avar reflects here stem I (*=Vḳ-), Andian languages - stem II with suffixes (*ḳV-b- / *ḳV-m-). The semantic correlation 'to gather, put together' : *'to be put together' > 'to lie, fall' is the same as in some other EC subgroups.

Av. > And. =aḳar-undi 'to gather', Bezht. =aḳarzi =aq id. (cf. the South Av. infinitive =aḳar-zi, Chad. =aḳár-ži).
