Protoform: *r[a]c̣i-l
Meaning: 1 joint 2 cartilage, gristle
Avar: c̣il 2
Andian language: rič̣in 1
Akhvakh: rac̣i 1
Chamalal: razil (Gig.) 1
Tindi: rac̣al 1
Bagvalal: rac̣al 1 (Tlond.)
Godoberi: rac̣i 1 (Zib.)
Comments: Av. c̣il (borrowed in And. c̣il) is probably a reduction < *rVc̣il. Very strange are the And. and Akhv. forms: we should expect -c̣- in And., -č̣- in Akhv., not vice versa. The Tind. form is borrowed in Inkh. rac̣c̣al 'joint'.
