\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *kɨ̆wrV
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: hair
Proto-Nakh: *kur
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *karHV (~ -o-)
Proto-Tsezian: *kẽ B
Proto-Dargwa: *kur
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The combination with -w- is reconstructed to account for the labialised vowel in PN and PD; it also explains a specific behaviour of -r- (as if it were in a cluster with a laryngeal).

    Abdokov (1983, 75) tries to connect the root with PAK *sakʷǝ 'mane' (q.v.), which is hardly justified.
