Proto-North Caucasian: *wɨ̆nx_wǝ̆ (~ -ɨ̄)
Meaning: line, stripe
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Although not widely spread, the comparison of the Chech., Av. and Lak. forms seems to be sound both phonetically and semantically. Note that Lak. š:ʷa may go back to *x:ʷa < *wVx_ʷa with regular loss of wV- and palatalisation of the spirant.
