Proto-North Caucasian: *=irχ_wVn
Meaning: to knit, weave, spin
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Except for some resonant interaction (PD *=imχ:Vr < *=irχ:ʷVn, variation in PL) correspondences are regular, and the reconstruction seems reliable. Pharyngealization in Lak. may be secondary, but may also reflect some weak initial laryngeal (or laryngeal prefix) in PEC.
