Proto-Lezghian: *q̇ä-c̣Vl-
Meaning: naked
Lezghian: q̇ec̣il
Tabasaran: ʁIac̣li
Agul: q̇Iac̣ul-f
Rutul: ʁac̣ul-dɨ
Tsakhur: c̣ele-n
Kryz: q̇äc̣in
Budukh: q̇ac̣ɨn
Comment: Most forms - except Tsakhur - contain the adjectival prefix *q̇ä-. Cf. also Tab. Düb. q̇Iac̣li, Ag. Bursh. q̇arc̣le-r, Burk. ʡac̣ul-f (pharyngealization in most Tab. and Ag. dialects is secondary before the front vowel *ä). Within the complex stem *q̇ä + class markers + *c̣Vl- there could occur different combinatory changes (vocalic and consonantal).
