Proto-Lezghian: *miḳʷ- / *niḳʷ-
Meaning: 1 fir-tree 2 pine-tree
Lezghian: muḳ-rag 1 (Nüt.)
Tabasaran: muḳ-ruḳ 1
Rutul: niḳʷ-näχI 2
Tsakhur: ḳuńaχ 2
Comment: All languages reflect a compound with some obscure second element. In Rut. the pronounciation varies between niḳʷnäχI and nuḳnäχI. The Tsakh. form is metathesized, but cf. the more archaic Gelm. ńuḳńaχ.
