Proto-Lezghian: *moč:or, *moč:or-Vj
Meaning: beard
Lezghian: č:uru
Tabasaran: muǯri
Agul: mužur
Kryz: ǯiri
Comment: Lezg., Tab. and Kryz. reflect a form with the frequent nominal suffix *-Vj. Whereas in Lezg. the loss of *mo- is regular, the same phenomenon in Kryz. still needs a special explanation (perhaps - under Lezg. influence?). The root should be strictly distinguished from *moč̣or q.v. (although they may have partially contaminated).
