\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *hōwɫ[ā]
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: bean(s), lentil
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *ħoli
Proto-Tsezian: *hel(u) A
Proto-Lak: hulū
Proto-Lezghian: *hola
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Some interlingual loans: Bezht. holo < Avar.; Darg. Ak. hulu-qara 'lentil' (qara 'pea') < Lak.; other adduced forms are genetically related.

    The final vowel is not quite clear; PL points to *-ā, Av. - to *-ū. Since we have to reconstruct -w- (to account for the reflex *-o- in PA, and possibly for *-e- in PC), we may conjecture that final *-ā passed to *-ū in Av. under influence of the medial -w-.
