Protoform: *χ:i- / *χ:iχ:ʷ-
Meaning: to saw
Avar: q:uq:á-
Chadakolob: quqa- 1
Andian language: q:uq:an-
Chamalal: χ:uχ:an-
Tindi: χ:ē-, χ:iχ:ʷã-
Comments: The non-reduplicated stem II *χ:i- is attested only in Tindi (χ:ē- < *χ:i-di-). All other forms are reduplicated, and in some of them (Av., And.) an irregular reflex q: is observed (probably due to the expressive character of the word). The Av. derivate q:uq:ádiro 'saw' is borrowed in Akhv. q:uq:adiro, Cham. Gig. q:oq:adur id.
