Proto-North Caucasian: *=ĭŁ_V
Meaning: to give
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The verb usually is used with class prefixes; however, a prefixless stem *ʔĭŁ_V- can also be reconstructed (reflected, with loss of the first syllable, in the PN imperative stem *lo, Av. stem II ƛ̣:e-, PD stem *k:V-). The Ablaut stem *-uŁ_V is reflected in PL *ʔoƛ:ɨ-, Lak. =u=lu- and in some Darg. forms (if we reconstruct here *ū, PTs *-ɨƛ- may also reflect this stem - vs. *-iƛ- < *-ĭŁV). Finally, PN *t-ēʎ- reflects another durative Ablaut stem (without secure parallels in other EC languages).
Cf. also Hurr., Urart. ar- 'to give' (see Diakonoff-Starostin 1986, 51).
