\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *ḳĂ
Meaning: a suffix(diminutive or singulative)
Proto-Nakh: *-Vḳ
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *-ḳV
Proto-Lezghian: *-k:(a)
Proto-West Caucasian: *ḳǝ
Notes: One of the very rare class of derivative suffixes, reconstructable for PNC; cf. also Hurr. -ga, -gǝ id. The morpheme is expressive, thus correspondences are not quite regular (sometimes glottalisation disappears). The suffix is still productive in Nakh and Abkh.-Abaz., but it has left numerous traces in other languages (including Tsezian and Dargwa).
