Proto-North Caucasian: *ḳ[u]rč̣V (~ -ć̣-)
Meaning: dung, excrements
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Vocalic correspondences are not quite clear (because of the root's expressive nature). In Khin. there occurred a dissimilative deglottalisation -č̣ > -č (usual in roots of this type).
The root probably denoted excrements of small animals or birds (cf. the semantic reflexes in most languages).
