Comments: Lak. must have possessed also the noun =aj 'edge, beginning', which is preserved within a compound verb =aj=iši-n 'to begin' (= "to put a beginning"), as well as in an old Archi loanword bej '(somebody's) turn'. From Lak. the compound expression "to begin" was borrowed into Archi (bej-eʎ:as) and Avar (bajbixi-ze), whence - into Andian languages (Tind., Cham. bajbix- etc.). Darg. =eħ=ix-es 'to begin' should be regarded as a loan-translation.
