Comment: The verb belongs to the weak verb class in PL. Cf. also Lezg. pret. c:a-na, Tab. Düb. u=ʒ-, Ag. Bursh. uza-, Bud. dur. s-ize-ǯi, and the derivate PL *ʔic:an 'tillage' (Lezg. c:an, Tab. izan, Rut. Mishl. jiʒan, Bud. jizen). The root reveals a rare PL Ablaut type *ä/*i (as opposed to the much more often *i/*ä Ablaut).
Cf. Лексика 1971, 170, 260.
