Proto-North Caucasian: *ḳ_ħǝri (~ -ʕ-)
Meaning: bark, skin
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Except for the Lak. vowel (-i- instead of -a- or -u-; perhaps the Lak. form suggests rather something like *ḳ_ħǝwri, in which case the -i-reflex would be understandable), the correspondences are regular.
