Proto-West-Caucasian: *q́:Ia ( ~ *q̇́Ia)
Meaning: to raise, to lift
Adyghe: ʡa-tǝ-n
Kabardian: ʡa-tǝ-n
Ubykh: q̇á-śa-
Comments: PAK *ʡa-tǝ-; Ub. a-s-q̇á-śa-n. Both PAK and Ub. reflect compounds with unclear second components. Since, despite Dumézil (1932, 107-108), PAK *t can not correspond to Ub. ś, we have to admit that the meaning 'to lift, raise' is here expressed by the component PAK *ʡa-, Ub. q̇a- < PWC *q́:Ia- (or *q̇́Ia-), which must be therefore distinguished from the homonymous PWC root for 'hand' (q.v.).
