Proto-Lezghian: *moƛ:or
Meaning: 1 ladder 2 funeral stretcher

Comment: Cf. also Lezg. Nüt. ɣur-ar 'ladder'. 3d class in all class-distinguishing languages. The syllable *mo- in Lezg. has regularly disappeared. In Bud. there occurred a metathesis (jumur < *mujur). The word probably meant originally 'wooden frame-like structure' (cf. also the external evidence).
