Comments: Ak. dukla can be formally treated as a locative of dukala 'wing; armful' (PD *dukala). For PD two similar forms meaning 'wing' can be reconstructed: *dukala and *dux:ala (q.v.), reflected in different dialects. In PD there must have existed *x:ala 'wing' and *dukala ( < *dur(u)ka-la) 'bosom', with a subsequent mixture of reflexes. Cf. also perhaps Chir. dukla-š 'vagina (of an animal)'.
Comments: Cf. also Gapsh. dulga, Kait. durk:a, Kub. dak:ʷa (pl. dulk-me). Some dialects have strange forms with -ʁ- (Ak., Mek., Kharb. dulʁa) which are as yet unexplained.
Comments: Cf. also Ur., Mek., Kharb. dub 'bank'. From the same root is obviously formed Ak. dub-ura, Chir. dab-ura 'mountain'. Although the Chir. form here has lost the nasalization, its former presence is securely confirmed by an old Archi loanword from Darg.: Arch. dumpǝra 'hill'.
Comments: Cf. also Ur. duraʒ, Kub. dāc, Tsud. durac id. Dargwa is the source for names of 'plough' in several Lezghian languages: Tab., Ag. duruc, Lezg. türez (Khl. turaz). A special reflex is found in Tsakhur: Tsakh. wēca, Gelm. wɨjaca < *ruraca 'wooden plough'. Since a normal reflex of *Hrājc_ū in PL would be *rac, this Tsakhur word should be also considered a loan from early Dargwa (before the development (*Hurac: > *rurac:) > *durac:.
