\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *mä̆r[ƛ]ǝ (~-o)
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: handful, armful
Proto-Nakh: *morʎ
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *ʎum-ur (~ *ƛ-)
Proto-Tsezian: *mi[ƛ]u (~-ɨ-)
Proto-Lezghian: *mä[rƛ]
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The comparison is very probable, although strange phonetically: a lot of irregularities in the development of *ƛ in all subgroups. Maybe this is due to a special development of a rare cluster *-rƛ-? A metathesis similar to the one that occurred in PA, apparently happened also in HU: cf. Hurr. šummǝ 'hand' (see Diakonoff-Starostin 1986, 23).
