Protoform: *čʷanƛ̣:il (/ žʷ-)
Meaning: whip
Andian language: č̣:artil
Akhvakh: čiƛ̣:e
Chamalal: ṣajṭã
Tindi: žʷanƛ̣:al
Karata: žʷarƛ̣:el
Godoberi: žorƛ̣:in
Comments: Cf. also Akhv. Tseg., Tlan. čanƛ̣:el, Ratl. činƛ̣:el, Cham. Gig. c̣aṭan, Kar. Tok. žorƛ̣:i. The word, because of its initially complicated phonetic structure, demonstrates rather complicated assimilational / dissimilational processes: dissimilation -ƛ̣:- > -ṭ- (before the final *-l) in And. and Cham., with shift of the tenseness feature to the initial consonant (Cham. ṣajṭã < *č̣:arṭan < *čarƛ̣:al; in And. - with further dissimilation č̣:arṭil > č̣:artil); voicing *č- > ž- in Tind., Kar. and God. Tind. > Inkh. žʷanƛ̣el.
