North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *hrŏmc̣we
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: stone
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *hinc̣o
Proto-Lak: nuwc̣i
Proto-Lezghian: *c̣ʷar(a)
Proto-Khinalug: rɨc̣ɨn
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Correspondences are regular (except for the secondary metathesis *rac̣ʷ(a) > *c̣ʷar(a) in PL), but the final vowel is not clear: the Avar form points to long *-ē, Lak - rather to short *-ĭ.

Yenisseian etymology :

Search within this database
Proto-Yenisseian: *ŕɨʔǯ
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: mountain, wooded mountain ridge
Ket: lɨʔt//ĺɨʔt
Yug: lɨʔt́
Kottish: d́ī, pl. d́īan; Ass. jii (М., Сл., Ф.), ij (Срсл.), (Бол.) pača-[j]i (lit. "big mountain"); Koib. ǯii (Ф.)
Pumpokol: lɨcɨ (Срсл.) "devil" (cf. Ket. ĺɨtɨś "wood devil (mountain + god)"
Comments: ССЕ 267. Not quite clear is the relationship of the forms: Ket. plur. ĺɨkken5, South. ĺɨkŋ5, Yug lɨkŋ5. A change *-tŋ > -kŋ is actually possible in Ket, but a reduplication in ĺɨkken5 is somewhat strange. Besides, Castren has recorded in Kottish one more word with the meaning "mountain": d́ix, plur. d́ekŋ, d́igan. It is possible to reconstruct one more PY root: *ĺɨ(ʔ)k, reflected (besides the forms listed) in the Kott. compound xē-lēx, khē-lēg 'mountain ridge' (the first part see under *qäʔj). On the whole, a rather complicated case. Werner (2, 16) tries to solve it by postulating PY <*ʎɨk, pl. *ʎɨkŋ> and its compound with an unclear component <*ǝt'> (?) - *ʎɨkkǝt' > *ʎɨkt' > Ket ĺɨʔt etc. Such a development would be phonetically unprecedented in Yenisseian.
