Пралезгинский: *c̣ir(u)χ:(a)
Значение: 1 caterpillar 2 chain, row, line
Лезгинский: c̣irʁ 2
Табасаранский: c̣irʁʷ 1
Рутульский: c̣iruχ 1 (Mishl.)
Комментарий: Cf. Lezg. erg. c̣irʁ-ini, Tab. Düb. c̣irʁi 'caterpillar'. The semantic development in Lezg. is easily explainable; there exists, however, also Lezg. c̣arnaχ 'caterpillar' ( < *c̣irχ:-an with a suffix). The words c̣irʁ and c̣arnaχ obviously reflect dialectal mixture, which is rather common for the Lezghi language.
