Proto-Lezghian: *q̇Iam: ( ~ -p:)
Meaning: 1 cradle 2 trough (for dough)
Lezghian: q̇eb 1
Tabasaran: q̇Iab 1,2
Agul: q̇Iab 1,2
Rutul: q̇Iab 1
Kryz: q̇u-su 1
Budukh: q̇ab-su 1
Comment: Cf. also Lezg. erg. q̇eṗini, Khl. q̇Iäb, q̇Iäṗe-ni. Obl. base *q̇Iam:a- (*q̇Iap:a-), cf. Tab. q̇Iaba-, Ag. q̇Iaba-, Rut. q̇Iábɨ-. 3d class in all class-distinguishing languages. Bud. and Kryz. reflect a compound with a not quite clear second component. Since there are no Arch., Ud. and Tsakh. reflexes (Tsakh. q̇Iab, attested only in the Mishlesh dialect, is most probably borrowed from Rutul), one can reconstruct both *-p: and *-m:; the latter seems preferable because of external evidence.
