\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *bŏlćwĭ (~ -n-)
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: millet
Proto-Nakh: *borc
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *binčʷa
Proto-Tsezian: *muš: B / *mus: B
Proto-Dargwa: *murs:
Proto-West Caucasian: *mVč́V
Notes: The correspondences are regular (note, however, a usual delabialisation in PWC after the initial labial: *bŏlćwĭ > *bŏnčĭ > *mVč́V). The root originally denoted a species of wild millet (used for making brooms), cf. the meanings in PTs and PD. Note that Darg. Ak., Ur. muči 'millet' (and other dialectal forms) must be regarded as an old Avarism.
