Proto-Lezghian: *q:ola / *q:Iola
Meaning: wheat
Lezghian: q:ül
Rutul: ʁɨl
Kryz: q:ul
Budukh: q:ul
Archi: qoqol
Comment: Cf. also Lezg. Khl. q:ül. 3d class in Rut., Arch., but 4th class in Kryz and Bud. There is a vacillation between reflexes of PL *o and *oI (just as in the name of "rye", PL *s:ol q.v.); the pharyngealized variant is reflected in Lezg. and Kryz (without pharyngealisation we would have Lezg. q:ul and Kryz. q:ɨl). The Arch. form is reduplicated. The obl. base can be reconstructed as *q:(I)olä- (cf. Rut. ʁɨ́la-).
