Proto-Lezghian: *p:ul[k]
Meaning: hammer
Rutul: burḳ (Ikhr.)
Archi: burk
Comment: The variation between Arch. k ( < *k or *k:) and Rut. ḳ ( < *ḳ) is unclear (we should expect *k:, thus something is wrong with the Rut. form). Medial *-l- (not *-r-) is reconstructed on basis of Arch. -r- before a velar (*-r- would have disappeared).
