Proto-Lezghian: *ʔVq̇IV(n)-
Meaning: to return
Archi: baq̇Ia-
Comment: The root is attested only in Archi, and has rather an exceptional conjugation there (baq̇Iá-s, pres. baq̇Iá-r, aor. boq̇Ió with a final stress), suggesting that b- is a former class prefix, and that the initial vowel of the root is reduced. The -n-conjugation is extremely hypothetical (suggested only by the external data).
