Dargwa etymology : Query result

Proto-Dargwa: *=uk:- (/=Vlk:-)

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: to thresh

Akusha: (deg) d-ug-es

Comments: The verbal stem is attested only in Ak., in a compound with deg 'threshing, threshing board', which itself is derived from the same root (see below). There are two nominal derivates:

1. Chir. alč:e (plur. alk:-me) 'threshing board', reflecting PD *ʔalk:i. This noun is immediately derived from the verbal stem *-Vlk:- (which is itself unattested).

2. PD *dek: > Ak. deg, Chir. dek: (cf. dek: b-arq̇i 'to thresh'), Ur. dig etc. 'threshing, threshing board'. The same stem is reflected in Ur. dugini 'threshed corn, fodder'.
