Comment: Cf. also Lezg. pret. g-ige-na; Kryz. q:-ɨj- 'to cover' ( = Bud. q:-i=j-), Bud. e=j- 'to put (from above)', ʕ-ä=j- 'to put inside' ( = Kryz. ʕ-aj-); Tab. Düb. jiw-, dur. ji-l-ɣun- (the original *ƛ: > Tab. -w- in an intervocalic position before -u- /inf. jiw-uz, Düb. jiw-us/, but is not labialised within the cluster -lɣ-). Not quite clear is the Tsakh. vocalism. The verb belongs to the weak class in PL.
