Proto-North Caucasian: *=iŁ_Vr
Meaning: to be hot; bitter
Notes: An Aand-Lezg. isogloss. Correspondences are regular (on the borrowed character of Arch. ƛ̣:eIr- see above). Both subgroups reflect Ablaut grades *-iŁ_Vr and *-oŁ_Vr; also characteristic is the semantic derivation "hot : bitter", both in Av.-And. and in Lezgian.
