Proto-North Caucasian: *HnĕgV̄
Meaning: leg, knee
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Although the root is preserved only in four languages (Bezht., Lak., Darg. and Khin.), they all belong to different subgroups, and the reconstruction seems quite reliable - both semantically and phonetically (the only irregularity is metathesis in Lak., which is a frequent phenomenon).
