Proto-North Caucasian: *kwǝ̄čV
Meaning: bundle; braid
Notes: Reconstructed for PEC. A very similar stem is present in Georgian - kočori 'forelock' - whence it penetrated Tsez languages (Tsez., Gin. kočori, Gunz. kočori / gočori, Bezht. Tlad., Khosh. köčöri), Av. dialects (cf. Chad. gočor) and Ossetian (Osset. gocora, see Abayev 1958, 521-522). The Georgian form itself probably has an EC source.
