Proto-North Caucasian: *GawV
Meaning: roof, ceiling
Notes: A Lezg.-Khin. isogloss. It is interesting to mention Tind. q:awu 'garret': it is quite isolated within Andian, and can not correspond phonetically to PL *q:aw (Tind. ʁabV would be expected) - perhaps it should be regarded as a loan from some Lezghian language (although we do not know of any other cases of early Lezghian loanwords in Andian languages).
