Comments: PG *ṭaŋ brain; Mikir arkleŋ; Dimasa buthluŋ ~ bithlim brain. Ben. 39, Gong 73. The root is actively interacting with *(r)kăŋ foot, leg and *(k)rāŋ bone (q. v.), which explains some irregularities.

Meaning: heel; ankle
Proto-Tsezian: *qʷilV (~a,ɨ,u,-r-)
Proto-Lezghian: *moq̇Iol
Notes: A Tsez.-Lezg. isogloss, therefore not enough data for vocalic reconstruction. The comparison seems, nevertheless, quite probable; initial *mo- in PL is secondary - probably under analogy with body part names like *morkol 'finger/toe'.
