PROTO: *ṭVnḳǝ̆
MEANING: freckle, mole; bead
COMMENT: Reconstructed for the PEC level. An expressive root (although the relationship of Av.-And., Lak. and Ag. forms is obvious). The 1st syllable vowel is hard to reconstruct. In Lak. -k- (instead of -ḳ-) is either a result of secondary dissimilation, or of contamination with ṭink 'pimple, rash' (see *ṭimƛwV).
