\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *GwēźV
Meaning: long hair, mane
Proto-Nakh: *qēs
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *ʁʷisV
Proto-Dargwa: *ʁeʒ
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Correspondences are regular.

    Cf. also Osset. qīs / ɣesä 'thick hair' < Iran. *gaisa- (see Abayev 1973, 304-305). If not for the labialisation (reflected in PA), it would be tempting to consider the listed Caucasian forms as an old loan from Iranian.
