North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Proto-Nakh: *la

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: ear

Chechen: lerg

Ingush: lerg

Batsbi: larḳ

Comments: The early PN paradigm must be reconstructed as *la, *lari-. The first form is preserved in Chech. la-dīʁa/-dōʁa, Ing. la-duwʁa "to listen". The second form gave rise to the diminutive *lari-ḳ which has survived as the basic word for "ear" (cf. also Cheb. larig, Shar. lerig etc.). This form belongs to the 3d class in Chech., Ing. and to the 8th class in Bacb.

Proto-Nakh: *l-aʔ-

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: to want, to wish

Chechen: laʔ-

Ingush: l-

Batsbi: l-aʔ-

Comments: Historically *l- here is not a prefix, but the root (with reduction < *=i(n)Ł_ʷ-), while *-aʔ- is a suffix. Therefore the Ing. form l-a (pres. l-ow) which looks as a contraction, may be in fact an archaism (without the laryngeal suffix -aʔ- present in Chech. and Bacb.).

Proto-Nakh: *l-abc̣-

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: lean upon a staff while stepping

Chechen: l-owz-

Comments: Isolated in Chech., but obviously archaic. Length of vowel is determined by forms like lewz-ira, lewz-ina. There exists also a durative stem līz- < *l-ēbc̣-.

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: 1 to rake up, shovel up 2 to touch

Chechen: laħ=ō 1

Ingush: loħa=e 1

Batsbi: laħ- 2

Comments: Cf. also Bacb. laħ-dar 'to gather (fruits)' (Chech. laħ=ō has this meaning, too). The durative stem is *lēħ- > Chech. lēħ=ō, Bacb. leħ-, leħ-dar.

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
