Proto-North Caucasian: *mVḳ_ɨ̆rV
Meaning: big stone; stone roller (for roofs)
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. A trisyllabic root, with usual metatheses in PA. One could also compare Lak. k:uru-čaj, Khosr. k:urun-čaj 'stone roller' (phonetically it fits rather well), but in Lak. the root has completely merged with k:uru- 'round, to roll' (q.v.) < PEC *gwVrV.
