Proto-North Caucasian: *ḳǟ[l]ḳV
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: joint, knee, shin
Proto-Nakh: *kōḳ
Proto-Tsezian: *ḳaḳa
Proto-Dargwa: *ḳinḳ(a)
Proto-Lezghian: *ḳälḳ- (~-e-,-r-)
Proto-Khinalug: ḳuḳa
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Correspondences are basically regular with following comments: in PN there occurred a dissimilation in glottalisation (*ḳ- > *k- before the following ḳ); in PTs we should expect -ɔ̃- in the 1st syllable, but it was probably assimilated by the following vowel (nasalisation being replaced by pharyngealisation, cf. the Inkh. form?). All these processes are typical for EC reduplicated roots and roots with two stops.

    EC > Osset. ḳax 'foot, leg' (see Abayev 1958, 619).

Lezghian etymology :

Search within this database
Proto-Lezghian: *ḳälḳ- (~-e-,-r-)
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: 1 calf (of leg) 2 knee 3 top of boot
Lezghian: ḳerḳem 1 (Akht.)
Agul: ḳeḳ 3
Udi: k:aIk:aIp 2
Comment: Both in Lezg. and Ud. suffixed forms are observed (probably original pluralia). Ag. ḳeḳ should be kept distinct from the reflexes of PL *q̇Iäq̇:Iʷ 'throat; top of boot' q.v. (in the Burk. dialect both ḳeḳ and q̇eq̇ are used for "top of boot", but in the Richa dialect ḳeḳ is 'top of boot', while q̇Iaq̇ is 'throat').
