Proto-Avaro-Andian: *ħirc̣-

Proto-Tsezian: *=ɔc̣- (~-u-,-ü-)

Proto-Lak: =a=c̣a-

Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Class prefixation in Lak. and Tsezian is probably secondary (cf. the prefixless structure *ħirc̣- in PA). PN *-b- is a former aspective (plural) marker.

    The root *Hĕrc̣V- has a parallel in HU *asχ- ( < *arc- with a typical HU development): Hurr. ašχ- 'to raise; endow', ašχu/o 'high, upper', Ur. ašχ- 'to endow' (see Diakonoff-Starostin 1986, 47).

Chechen: l-owz-

Kottish: fatagākŋ, praet. faltajaŋ, imp. falta

Comments: ССЕ 281. The Ket-Kot comparison is acceptable if Ket -s is a suffix; in its favour speaks the common morphological structure (with the preverb *p(a)-): PY *pa-ta(s)-. The Ket-Yug form may represent an old compound of verbal stems: *ta- + *hVs- 'to be stood up'. Werner 2, 243 <*t^has->.
