Proto-North Caucasian: *G_ōlʔe ( ~ -a)
Meaning: wheat
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Correspondences are regular. Abdokov (1983, 106) compares the EC root with PAK *ʁa- (in compounds like *ʁa-zʷá 'crops'), but Shagirov (1, 123) is probably right in identifying this element with PAK *ʁa 'season, time'.
