Proto-North Caucasian: *lālce
Meaning: wall
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Nasalisation in PTs points to medial resonant, lost in PD and PL: this could be only *-l- (lost by dissimilation). Correspondences are regular, except for metathesis in PL (which was rather recent, judging from the preservation of c- in word-initial position).
