Comment: Cf. also Lezg. Khl. lem, Tsakh. Gelm. aImalä. 3d class in all class-distinguishing languages. Since the metathesis *ʡimala > *ʡilama is specific for Lezghian languages and has occurred in Shakhdagh, it is most probable that Khin. hilam 'ass' is an old Shakhdagh loan (before the secondary reduction of the initial weak syllable).
