Proto-North Caucasian: *mħēlƛ̣e
Meaning: cold
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Since PD *b- in this case can not correspond to m- in other languages, we have to assume a metathesis *buḳumV < *muḳu-bV (probably with a former plural suffix). For the meaning "wind" in Darg. cf. 'cold wind, wind' in some Lezg. languages.
