Protoform: *roƛ̣:i-čʷolV
Meaning: belt, girdle
Avar: račél
Chadakolob: ráƛ̣ič
Andian language: roƛ̣:očul
Akhvakh: raƛ̣:iča
Chamalal: jačal / jaƛ̣:čal
Karata: račʷal
Comments: Av. paradigm B (račáli-l/račlí-l, račála-bi; but Chad. ráƛ̣či-l, ráƛ̣ča-l). Cf. also Cham. Gig. račal, Akhv. Ratl. raƛ̣:ičali. The word is a compound; the second component *-čʷolV is not quite clear, but may be the same morpheme as *č̣ʷoli 'leather strip, belt' q.v. (with an early dissimilation *č̣ʷ > čʷ after -ƛ̣:-); the other possibility would be linking this root with Darg. Ak. čaIl 'braid, lace'.
