Comments: ЭСТЯ 5, 324-326, EDT 663. External evidence suggests that the original meaning was 'elbow, cubit' [in fact attested for qarɨš in Chag. Abushka, but some argue that this is just a script error], with the opposition *K(i)arɨ 'large measure (cubit) : *K(i)arɨĺ 'small measure (span)'. But the former completely merged later with the reflexes of *Karɨ 'arm' (v. sub *gàrá).
