Proto-North Caucasian: *mɨ̆lƛ̣_V̆
Meaning: husband, male, worker
Notes: The root should be (for phonetic reasons) kept apart from *mōrŁV 'man, male' q.v. In PAK we should rather expect *Pƛ̣́ǝ: reason for dropping the initial labial is not quite clear (perhaps through influence of another root, PWC *Ł́V 'male' < *lĭwŁĔ q.v.).
