Proto-Lezghian: *ʎul
Meaning: 1 shivering, chill 2 prayer 3 hope
Lezghian: ful 1
Rutul: xul 2 (Shin.)
Archi: ʎul 3
Comment: The original meaning of the root had been 'wind' (cf. the external evidence), hence the divergent meanings ( > a/ 'cold, chill', b/ 'hope, prayer'). However, for the Arch. word borrowing from Av. or Darg. is not excluded.
