Bezhta: q̇äč̣ä (Khosh.) 3

Gunzib: q̇ač̣a 3

Comments: PTsKh *q̇ʷVč̣(a); PGB *q̇ač̣a. In Gin. there occurred a dissimilation (ʁ- < q̇-); the vowel is hard to reconstruct because of Tsez pharyngealisation. Perhaps we should relate here also PGB *q̇ač̣a-l 'knitting needle' (Bezht. Khosh., Tlad. q̇äč̣äl, Gunz. q̇ač̣al): cf. a similar development in PEC *č̣ħwɨ̆ɫū 'beam' > PD *č̣ala 'stick, fork; knitting needle'.
