North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *hǝlq̇_wĕ ( ~ -ĭ)
Meaning: roof
Notes: The Bezht. form ƛ̣oq exactly parallels PA *ƛ̣olq̇:ʷV (an old compound, see above), thus this compound with *ƛ̣a- 'above' must be dated by the Av.-And.-Tsez. period. The PWC form has a frequent labial prefix (with a usual in this case delabialisation of the following consonant). The comparison seems reliable, both phonetically and semantically (an alternative comparison of Adygh forms with PEC *mōnqī 'breast' - see Abdokov 1983, 79 - is improbable for phonetic reasons). It seems possible to compare also Lak. Khosr. q̇alaq̇u 'lid, cover' which is either a reduplication or a reflex of the same compound with *ƛ̣a- 'above' (if q̇alaq̇u < *ḳalaq̇u through assimilation).

Avar-Andian etymology :

Protoform: *holq̇:ʷV ( ~ ħ-)
Meaning: 1 cover, lid 2 palate 3 to cover, thatch
Avar: heq̇:el 1 (Keg.)
Tindi: haq̇:ʷ- 3
Godoberi: harq̇:in 2 (Zib.)
Comments: Cf. also Av. Unt., Shul. eq̇:el, Andal. heq̇:el/eq̇:el 'cover, lid' (all dialectal forms are cited from Mikailov 1959). More widely spread is PA *ƛ̣olq̇:ʷV 'roof', which is an obvious compound *ƛ̣a 'up, above' (q.v.) + *holq̇:ʷV: cf. Av. ṭoq̇:ó (par. B: ṭoq̇:ó-dul, ṭoq̇:á-bi) 'shed', Kuyad. oq̇:o id., Chad. ṭóq̇i 'roof'; And. (Leksika) loq̇:u, Akhv. ƛ̣aq̇:o (Tseg. ṭoq̇:o, Tlan. ƛ̣oq̇:o) 'shed', Cham. (Leksika) aq̇:ʷa 'lid, cover', Kar. ƛ̣alq̇:ʷa (Archo. alq̇:ʷa, Chab. ṭalq̇:ʷa, Tok. aq̇:ʷa) 'shed', God. laq̇:ur 'lid, cover'. Several Tsezian forms meaning "lid, cover" (Gin. ƛ̣eq̇ʷi, Bezht. Tlad., Khosh. ƛ̣äq̇e, Gunz. ƛ̣oq̇e) are probably borrowed from Andian languages (in Bezht. there exists thus an etymological doublet: ƛ̣äq̇e 'lid, cover' - ƛ̣oq 'roof').
