North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *Hăwaχ_V

Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology

Meaning: to swell

Proto-Avaro-Andian: *ʔa=aχʷ-

Proto-Tsezian: *=aʁ:ʷ-

Proto-Lak: =uru=χ:a-

Proto-Dargwa: *=Vbχ:-

Proto-Lezghian: *ʔawχ:Ia

Proto-Khinalug: =opχ-

Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The verb has a very rare root structure (*HVRVCV), clearly seen in the reflexes; the second consonant is in most subgroups a reflex of *-w-, but Lak. has -r- and Andian has changing class infixes (-b-/-r-). Since such a root structure is quite unique for a verb, there are two equally acceptable solutions: to reconstruct *-w- (and consider Lak. -r- and And. -b-/-r- an innovation) or to reconstruct changing class infixes in PEC.

Avar-Andian etymology :

Protoform: *ʔa=aχʷ-

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: to swell

Andian language: a=aχ-

Akhvakh: abaχ-

Chamalal: ābaχ-

Tindi: abaχʷ-

Karata: ʕabih- (Tok.)

Comments: Changing class infixes are attested only in Andian (cf. aor. abaχo / araχo), and it is not quite clear whether it is an archaism or an innovation. In any case, the structure of this verbal stem is quite exceptional. There also exists a reflex of stem II *χʷV- in Tind. χʷē- 'to swell; to rise (of dough)'.

Lezghian etymology :

Proto-Lezghian: *ʔawχ:Ia

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: 1 to swell 2 tumour

Tabasaran: a=ʁI- 1

Agul: ṭ-aX̀- 1

Rutul: ṭ-a=χIa- 1

Tsakhur: alṭ-a=χ:Ia- 1

Kryz: s-äħ- 1

Archi: babχ:Ia- 1

Udi: beχI 2

Comment: Cf. also Tab. Düb. a=ʁI-, Ag. Bursh. ṭ-aX̀a-. The verb belongs to the weak PL class. The Ag., Rut. and Tsakh. forms contain an expressive preverb *ṭ-. In the Archi form b- is obviously a former class prefix; dur. babχ:Iu-r points to a secondary labialisation *-wχ:I- > *-bχ:Iʷ- in early Archi.
