Proto-North Caucasian: *ḳ_ărā ( ~ -ǝ̄)
Meaning: mosquito; gadfly
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. In PTs we would rather expect *-r-; this must be a rare case of *r/l variation in PGB (this feature is much more common in PTsKh). However, despite this, it seems impossible to separate the PTs form from the PA and PN.
