Proto-North Caucasian: *s_ɨlV ( ~ -ɫ-)
Meaning: light (of weight)
Notes: A Lezg.-WC isogloss. The PWC form can be analyzed as "light inside" (with the common WC morpheme *Łʷa- 'inner, inside; to enter'). In this case the correspondence is established between PL *s:ɨlä- and PWC *-sǝ. It is quite regular and seems probable, but must be approached with some caution because of the scarcity of reflexes in EC languages. See Абдоков 1983, 150.
