\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *Gwǝ̆mV
Meaning: dense
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *ʁʷomV- ( ~ -a-)
Proto-Lak: q:uma-
Proto-Lezghian: *q:(ʷ)amV-
Proto-West Caucasian: *ʁʷǝmǝ ( ~ Gʷ-)
Notes: Phonetically the EC-WC parallel is quite satisfactory. As far as the meaning is concerned, for PWC we have to suppose a change *'dense' > 'thick' which seems to be quite motivated.
