North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *Hrĕmk_wɨ̆ (~ -ĭ)
Meaning: manure, faeces; dust
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. We have reconstructed the structure *Hrĕmk_wɨ̆, taking into account the relic nasalisation in Gunz.; if it is secondary, a reconstruction *rHĕk_wɨ̆ is also possible. An obvious EC loan is Osset. ryg 'dust' (see Abayev 1973, 444; the suggested Indo-Iranian etymology of the Osset. word is absolutely unsecure).

Proto-Yenisseian: *ŕǝʔq- ( ~ -χ)
Meaning: dirt
Yug: lъʔx // lъʔq
Arin: laj (Лоск.) 'swamp'
Comments: ССЕ 267. Werner 2, 5 <*lǝʔq>. Note that Ar. dalaj 'sea' is a transparent Mong. loanword and cannot be analyzed (as in Werner 2, 1) as da 'sea' + laj 'swamp'. In КС... the Yug word was connected with Kott. d́igen 'moss' - which is correctly doubted by Werner (2, 5); for the etymology of the latter see *čVKV.
