Proto-North Caucasian: *=ōmŁ_V
Meaning: to put on (trousers, shoes)
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. It is interesting to note that Archi, besides the verb =ubƛa-s which is a regular parallel for the Av.-And.-Tsez. forms, has also a noun: imƛ̣:ǝla '(knitted) sock, stocking'. This must be an old loanword from some Andian source: cf. Cham. ini-biƛ̣:inna-b 'sock, stocking' (lit. "(smth.) put inside") and Akhv. iƛ̣:el 'stocking' - derivates from the same PA root *=iƛ̣:Vn-.
