Lezghian etymology :

Proto-Lezghian: *morƛ:ɨl / *uorƛ:ɨl
Meaning: 1 man 2 male 3 male child 4 brave man, hero
Lezghian: rugul 3
Tabasaran: murgu-ž̌i 4
Rutul: wɨɣɨl-dɨ 1
Tsakhur: wɨɣɨli-n 2
Kryz: miɣil 2
Budukh: wɨli 2
Archi: meƛle 2
Comment: Lezg. rugul goes back to *u_orƛ:ɨl with a regular elision of *u_o-. The original form (to judge from external correspondences) must have been the one with *m-; initial *u- substituted it under analogy with the 1t class prefix *u_-. External evidence shows also that inspite of the superficial resemblance this is not the same root as PL *ƛ:ilV- 'man, male' (q.v.). See Лексика 1971, 131; Гигинейшвили 1977, 86.
