Proto-Lezghian: *ʎʷil
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: elbow
Tabasaran: qur-šil
Agul: q:ar-xil
Rutul: fil-äg (Khnov.)
Comment: Cf. also Ag. Bursh. ʕar-šil, Fit., Burk. q:ar-xil. Ag. and Tab. reflect a compound with some not quite clear first component (is it a distorted PL *χ:ɨl 'hand'? or *q:Iun 'arm'?). Labialisation (clearly reflected in the Rut. form) was early lost in Ag. and Tab.
