Proto-Lezghian: *š:iḳ-Vj / *š:iḳ-Vla
Meaning: sweetbrier
Lezghian: žiḳi
Tabasaran: šḳi (lit.)
Rutul: ḳašḳal-bɨr
Tsakhur: ḳašḳale
Comment: Cf. also Lezg. Akht., Khl. šḳi. The Rut. form (which is from the Khniukh dialect) and the Tsakh. form are partially reduplicated, and have the suffix *-Vla (as opposed to *-Vj in the Lezg.-Tab. area). An irregular modification of the same stem is possibly Ag. Bursh. ḳuč̣ḳuč̣aj 'sweetbrier'.
