Proto-North Caucasian: *=HVlḳ(w)Vn
Meaning: to stick, glue
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. One feels tempted to compare also Lezg. al-ḳi- 'to stick, glue, adhere', k-iḳi- id.; but if this is the same verbal root as eḳi- 'to stick, be stuck', it should be kept separated from *=HVlḳ(w)Vn, because the Akht. correspondence (ak:ɨ-) points only to PL *-ƛ̣:-.
