Proto-North Caucasian: *mīč̣V
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: dark
Proto-Nakh: *māč̣-u(n) (~ -ǯ-)
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *mVč̣V-
Proto-Lak: murč̣i-
Proto-Lezghian: *mič̣[ä]-
Proto-Khinalug: mič̣ä
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The original meaning was, perhaps, 'dark grey' or 'dark yellow' (in Lak. 'dark' > 'blind', which is a rather usual semantic development). The Lak. form contains an adjectival infix (going back to a suffix) -r-: murč̣i- < *mič̣rV- < *mīč̣V-rV-.
