Long-range etymologies :

Borean (approx.) : PVNKV

Meaning : leaf, flower

Eurasiatic : Alt. *pòŋa ( ~ *p`-) 'bud'

Sino-Caucasian : *pan(x)G_V

Austric : *bVŋa (cf. also *ʔbVŋ 'sprouts')

Amerind (misc.) : *pane 'leaf' (R 424)

African (misc.) : Cf. Bantu *-báŋg- 'to open up'.

Sino-Caucasian etymology :

Proto-Sino-Caucasian: *pánGV ( ~ -xG-)

Meaning: a k. of weed; shell, leaf

Borean etymology: Borean etymology

North Caucasian: *panG_VlhV (~ -lɦ-)

Sino-Tibetan: *Pōŋ

North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *panG_VlhV (~ -lɦ-)

Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology

Meaning: burdock; leaf, bark

Proto-Avaro-Andian: *mVq̇:Vr-

Proto-Lezghian: *parq̇:ul:

Notes: A Lezg.-Av. isogloss. Lak. maq̇ara 'shell, bark' is obviously an Av. loanword (otherwise -l- would be expected).

Avar-Andian etymology :

Protoform: *mVq̇:Vr-

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: bark

Avar: maq̇:ár

Chadakolob: maq̇ár

Comments: Av. paradigm C (maq̇:rí-l, máq̇:ra-l; but Chad. /secondary/ B: moq̇ró-l, maq̇ára-l). Av. > Arch. maq̇:ar.

Lezghian etymology :

Proto-Lezghian: *parq̇:ul:

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: 1 bark 2 burdock 3 plantain

Lezghian: p:arq̇ul 2

Rutul: paq:Iul 2

Kryz: bärqul 3

Archi: paq̇:ut 1

Comment: The root reveals an initial fluctuation of *p (Rut., Arch.) and *p: (Lezg., Kryz.), probably due to assimilation. Pharyngealization in Rut. is secondary, due to contamination with PL *palq̇Iʷ 'burdock' (which is a quite different root q.v.). 3d class in Arch., but 4th class in Kryz.
