Proto-North Caucasian: *ɦrVḳ_wV̄
Meaning: woman, female
Notes: The root is best of all represented in the Av.-And.-Tsez. area, with a relic reflex also in Lak (we would have expected Lak. *t:VrVḳ, but the prothetic t:- probably did not appear in the word-medial position - since the root is present in Lak. only in a compound word). The etymology is certainly sound, although the vowels are hard to reconstruct.
