Proto-Lezghian: *(ʔi)c̣:ur-
Meaning: to suck; to strain, filter
Archi: c̣ur-bos 1
Udi: c:oro 2
Comment: An Arch.-Ud. isogloss, therefore the first syllable is reconstructed only because of general considerations of the verbal root structure.
An archaic derivate is Arch. c̣urǝla 'neck of zourna (flute)' < PL *c̣:urVl(a) (this noun originally meant 'filter, sieve', as seen from external evidence).
