North Caucasian etymology :

Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *Gēɫu
Meaning: thigh, leg
Proto-Nakh: *ʁōlu-ḳ
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *riʁil
Proto-Tsezian: *rɨχil(a) A
Proto-Lezghian: *q:el
Notes: Reconstructed for the EC level. All the forms certainly correspond to each other. However, there are two possible reconstructions:

    a) the one proposed above - in this case we must consider *r- in PA and PTs as a former class prefix (which raises some doubts);

    b) we can reconstruct *Gēlu (with *l) and a metathesized variant *lēGV > PA *riʁi-, PC *rɨχi- (with a rather frequent *-lV extension).

    At present it is hard to choose one of these solutions only.
