Proto-North Caucasian: *ḳ_wVnV
Meaning: mastix, tar
Notes: An Av.-Tsez. isogloss. There is an interesting (reduplicated or suffixed) HU parallel: Hurr. kanagi 'mastix (tree)' ( > Akkad. kanak-tu), kanag-itχi 'mastix resin'. See Diakonoff-Starostin 1986, 56. In some languages (in particular, PL) the root could have merged with the reflexes of *bħĭnḳ_wV q.v.
