\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *šērč_V
Meaning: a k. of grass
Proto-Nakh: *šārč
Proto-Dargwa: *š:erš:i
Proto-Lezghian: *š(:)erš:(a)
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Despite some phonetic problems, the etymology seems generally plausible. The semantic correlation "sedge" : "onion, garlic" is easily explained by external similarity of the leaves of these two plants.
