Proto-Tsezian: *=eḳ- A

Notes: Cf. also HU: Hurr., Urart. ag- 'to lead, to bring; to lead away' (see Diakonoff-Starostin 1986, 57).

    Correspondences are regular, and the etymology seems quite satisfactory. The PN, PD (and probably PA) forms reflect the Ablaut grade *-ĭ-. See Абдоков 1983, 176.

Nakh etymology :

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Tsezian etymology :

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: to go, walk

Akusha: =irḳ-/=urḳ (Ur)

Lezghian etymology :

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: 1 to go 2 to drive, urge

Tsakhur: h-a=ḳan- 1

Archi: a=ḳa- 2

Comment: Cf. also Arch. dur. =arḳu-r. In Tsakh. the root forms the aorist and imperative part of the suppletive paradigm of the verb "to go". It is also used with another preverb (ʔ-) and the causative auxiliary verb -ās in the meaning 'to drive, urge' (aḳan-ās). Reasons for -n-conjugation in Tsakh. are not clear. Since there are no Ag. or Tab. forms, it is impossible to establish whether there was a medial *-r- in PL (external data, in particular, Dargwa, suggest such a possibility).

Abkhaz-Adyghe etymology :

Proto-West-Caucasian: *ḳ́ʷa

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: go, walk

Adyghe: ḳʷa-

Kabardian: ḳʷa-

Ubykh: ḳ́a-

Comments: PAK *ḳʷa. With preverbs the same root is used in AK and Ub. for the meaning 'to come'. Shagirov (1, 216) compares also PAT *nǝ-q̇ʷa- 'walk, move', which is impossible phonetically.
