Proto-North Caucasian: *ḳwɨ̆nćV
Meaning: onion, garlic; bundle (of onions)
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The PL form demonstrates an assimilation (*ḳunč > *ḳunč̣). We must mention also an isolated Tsezian form: Khvarsh. ḳuca 'onion'. It can not correspond to other forms for phonetic reasons, and may be an old Nakh loanword.
