\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *rä̆ḳwɨ̆
Meaning: axe
Proto-Nakh: *diḳ
Proto-Lak: riḳ
Proto-Lezghian: *jaḳʷ
Proto-West Caucasian: *ḳʷa-
Notes: The Nakh-Lezg-WC correspondence is exact, and the etymology seems quite plausible. In Lak., however, we should expect d-, not r-; reasons for this exceptional preservation of r- are not clear.
