Proto-North Caucasian: *HVʎU
Meaning: to bear, give birth; to create
Notes: Since the PWC root contains a lateral fricative, the comparison with PN *-oll- and PA *ʔiʎ- seems quite plausible (note also the precise semantic correspondence). Other attempts of comparison (PAK *ʎxʷa- : Lak. lūʁi xun 'to breed' /Bouda 1950, 293/, PAK : Lezg. χu-n etc. 'to be born' /Balkarov 1964, 100-101/ e. a. - see Shagirov 1, 254-255 with literature) should be abandoned.
