Comments: Most languages reflect stem 2 (*ƛ̣:V-) with different suffixes (cf. also Akhv. ƛ̣:ibe 'dance (n.)', Tlan. ƛ̣:e-r-, Ratl. ƛ̣:i-b- 'to dance', Tind. ƛ̣:ar 'dance (n.)', ƛ̣:ē- 'to dance', ƛ̣:ur-ij- 'to spin'). Stem 1 (*-Vƛ̣:-) is reflected only in the Av. (Chad.) derived noun aƛ̣ 'dance'.
Comments: Av. paradigm B (ƛ̣:oló-l,ƛ̣:alá-l, Chad. id.). Cf. also Cham. Tlan., Ratl. (with dissimilation) ƛ̣:eṭel, Cham. Gig. ƛ̣:iƛ̣:ir, Kar. Tok. ƛ̣:eƛ̣:el / ƛ̣:erƛ̣:il. All Andian languages reflect a reduplicated stem; cf., however, the isolated And. (cited from Khaid.) ƛ̣:iru 'saddle' ( -r- < -l- through dissimilation?). Tind. > Inkh. ƛ̣eƛ̣el id.; Av. > Arch. ƛ̣:ili.
Comments: In Andian languages the root is used in compounds *ʔima-ƛ̣:ir 'father-in-law' (*'father-guest'), *ʔila-ƛ̣:ir 'mother-in-law' (*'mother-guest'): Akhv. ima-ƛ̣:e,ila-ƛ̣:e (Tseg. ima-ƛ̣:ur,ila-ƛ̣:or), Kar. ima-ƛ̣:er,ila-ƛ̣:er etc. A form -ƛ̣:eb is witnessed in The Ratlub dialect of Akhvakh (ime-ƛ̣:eb,ila-ƛ̣:eb): historically this is a plural form *-ƛ̣:ir-bi, corresponding to the PTs variant *ƛǝr-ba.
In Avar, besides ƛ̣:er-íla-w 'person of the same age' (*'companion') the root is used also in the kinship terminology: w-aƛ̣:á-d 'father-in-law', j-aƛ̣:á-d 'mother-in-law' ( < *u_V-/jV-ƛ̣:er-dV with the historical adjectival suffix *-dV).
Comments: An expressive stem. Cf. also Kar. Tok. ƛ̣:oχ:uχ:ur, Anch. ƛ̣:uq:uraq:. It is probably a distorted compound of *ƛ̣:iχ:ʷV- + *q:anχ:a (**q:Vlχ:V); the second component see under *q_aHlaχi.
