\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *nħĕƛ̣_V
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: milk; milk product (butter, cheese)
Proto-Nakh: *nalχ[o]
Proto-Lak: naḳ
Proto-Dargwa: *niɣ
Proto-Lezghian: *näIƛ̣:
Proto-Khinalug: eng
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The Khin. form obviously belongs here, although the metathesis eng (instead of *neg) is not quite clear; other languages do not allow to reconstruct any root structure except *RVCV. All other forms are completely regular.

    Abayev (1958, 544) suggests some Caucasian source (connected with Khin. eng) for Osset. inǵɨn 'curds'.

    See Trubetzkoy 1922, 241.
