Proto-North Caucasian: *=ilqwV- (/*=ilχwV-)
Meaning: to die (plur. subject), die out
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. As well as its transitive counterpart (*=ilq_wV / *=ilχ_wV 'to slaughter' q.v.), the root demonstrates a non-standard variation of *q/*χ (the latter is reflected in Darg. and PTs, the former - in PA; the PL form may reflect either variant).
