PROTO: *=ēƛ̣wV(l)
MEANING: to burst, tear
COMMENT: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The Tsez-Lezg. correspondence is quite plausible; in Darg., however, irregular is the loss of *-l-conjugation. This makes us suspect that the Darg. form may be alternatively compared with PL *ʔelḳ[ɨ]- 'to finish; to stop breast-feeding' (Tab. k:ud-u=ḳ- 'finish', Ag. ḳ-irḳʷ-, Bursh. k:-erḳi- id., Rut. s-i=rḳa- 'stop breast-feeding').
