Proto-North Caucasian: *mHōK(V)ć̣V
Meaning: flint
Notes: A specific trisyllabic structure (perhaps originally some compound), which resulted in some non-trivial changes (loss of the medial velar consonant in most languages, except PN). A probable (also irregular) transformation of the same root can be discovered in Tab. c̣i-hinč:, Düb. c̣i-mirč 'flint' (with PL *c̣aj 'fire' as the first component) - although the precise PL form can hardly be deduced from Tab.
