\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *Gwăṭɨ̄
Meaning: bush, tree; stalk
Proto-Nakh: *ʁaṭ
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *ʁʷVṭV
Proto-Tsezian: *ʁ:eṭa (~ʁ-,-ɨ-,-ǝ-)
Proto-Lak: q:aṭa
Proto-Dargwa: *ʁʷaṭa
Proto-Lezghian: *q:ʷaṭ(a) ( ~ q̇:ʷ-)
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The Tsez. word for "goat's wool" (ʁIiṭa) perfectly fits phonetically; semantically it must be explained as *'stalk' > 'long hair' > "goat's wool" (the variation between "hair" and "bush, shrub" is observed also in several other cases).
