Proto-North Caucasian: *c̣_ăq̇V
Meaning: strength, power
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The Lak. word may be borrowed from Darg. (or vice versa), but one of these forms is still genuine. The PN form has a very specific structure - with a prefix *ni- and reduction of the second part. The prefix should be perhaps analysed as the PEC reflexive pronominal stem *HinV- - i.e. *HinV-c̣_ăq̇V '(one's) own power'.
