Proto-Lezghian: *[ħ]arč̣:-

Proto-West Caucasian: *ɣ́V

Notes: One of the cases of *ʒ́ > WC *ɣ in 'tense' words. The EC-WC comparison seems probable, although not indisputable. The EC reconstruction is more secure, although Lak. -r- and PL *-r- corresponding to PA *-n- should be explained: most probably -r- penetrated here from a suffixed form *Hānʒ́_V-rV- (cf., e.g., Cham. hanc̣i-ra-).
