\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *h[ă]ɫʔa ( ~ -ʡ-,-e)
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: steam
Proto-Nakh: *ʡe
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *halHV ( ~ ħ-)
Proto-Tsezian: *hel- ( ~ ħ-)
Proto-Lezghian: *hIela
Proto-West Caucasian: *Ła
Notes: Cf. (with an a-prothesis and *ɫ > r) Hurr. aɣri 'incense' (see Diakonoff-Starostin 1986, 55).

    The EC-WC comparison seems rather probable, despite the not quite regular correspondence PEC *ɫ : PWC *Ł. Resonants are normally lost in PWC, but in this case *ɫ was retained as the only possible element (because laryngeals were also lost, and probably even before the resonants), but was transformed into a voiced lateral affricate.
