Proto-North Caucasian: *q̇wĀc̣Ă / *c̣Ăq̇wĀ
Meaning: tail
Notes: Although the root is not widely spread in EC, the comparison seems phonetically plausible (metathesis is usual in roots of this type). See also PNC *ḳwV̆[c]V 'tail': the mutual relationship of these two roots is not quite clear, and we prefer to keep them distinct (unlike Abdokov 1983, 85).
