Comment: The Tab., Ag. (cf. also Bursh. s:ul), Tsakh., Arch. and Ud. forms go back to the simple stem PL *s:oIla (obl. base *s:oIlä- > Tab. sula-, Ag. sule-). The Lezg. and Rut. forms reflect a derivate *s:oIl-ḳ, while the Shakhdagh languages reflect *s:oIl-Vk > *s:oIkVl (probably with secondary deglottalisation of *-ḳ). Cf. similar derivates in Lak. and in Nakh. 3d class in all class-distinguishing languages.
