Proto-Lezghian: *χ:Iac̣
Meaning: young goat (less than 2 y. old)
Lezghian: ʁec̣
Kryz: ħäč̣
Comment: Cf. also Lezg. Nüt. ʕac̣, Khl. ʕäc̣ id. 3d class in Kryz. Kryz. has an irregular hushing consonant (a contamination with ħäč̣ 'star' ?). The word is not attested in Budukh (where it would have given *ʕäč̣), but it is probable that an early Shakhdagh (Budukh) form like *ʁIäč̣ (before the change *χ:I > *ʁI > ʕ) was borrowed in Khin. ʁäč̣ 'young goat'.
