PROTO: *gārV ( ~ -l-)
MEANING: neck; throat, gullet
COMMENT: The comparison belongs to Abdokov 1983, 74. The Nakh form may belong here if it is a partial reduplication (*gagV < *gargV or *galgV). Note that Kryz. gäli 'throat' (also cited by Abdokov ibid.) is a recent Persian loanword and does not belong here.
