Khinalug root:sɨlg-li
North Caucasian etymology:1298
Meaning:rye
Khinalug form:sɨlg-li
Comments: A compound: sɨlg 'rye' + li 'grain, wheat'. The form sɨlg contains an old diminutive suffix (*-Vḳ) and is thus parallel to Rut. and Tsakh. (reflecting PL *s:ol-Vḳ, see above). However, it can be hardly considered a loan (the Shakhdagh languages do not reflect this structure).
