Proto-Lezghian: *kanṭ
Meaning: 1 big knife 2 knife
Lezghian: kant 1
Agul: kanṭ 1
Rutul: kanṭ 2
Kryz: känṭ 2
Budukh: kǝnṭ 2
Comment: In Lezg. the second consonant was assimilated and lost glottalisation (cf. also erg. kantu-ni). 4th class in all class-distinguishing languages. Obl. stem *kanṭɨ- (cf. Ag. Fit. kanṭ, kanṭu-; Rut. kánṭi-; these forms could also point to *kanṭe-, but this is less probable, because in that case we would expect a palatalisation of *-ṭ in Lezg. and Kryz.).
