\data\cauc\abadet
Proto-West-Caucasian: *Ĺa-
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: to paint
Adyghe: La-
Kabardian: La-
Ubykh: La-
Comments: PAK *La-. Since the PAK and Ub. forms correspond perfectly to each other, Shagirov's (1,242) complicated reasoning and reconstruction of the original meaning "good, to rejoice" seems absolutely unnecessary (to say nothing of linking the root with Abkh. a-gʷǝ-r-ʁ́a-ra which is phonetically impossible).
