Proto-Lezghian: *ʔiƛ̣:an
Meaning: to love, to want
Lezghian: ḳan xun
Tabasaran: k:un xuz
Agul: k:an xas
Rutul: =ɨga-
Tsakhur: =ɨk:an-
Kryz: =ik-
Budukh: ji=k-
Archi: ƛ̣:an
Udi: b-uq:-sun (V.)
Comment: Cf. also Tab. Düb. gun xus. The word belongs to the weak class in PL. In Tsakhur the terminative stem is reduplicated (cf. aor. ɨk:ɨjk:ɨn etc.). Rut., Tsakh. and Ud. reflect the Ablaut grade *-o-. Several languages (Lezg., Tab., Ag., Arch.) have a defective paradigm, reflecting only the stem *ʔiƛ̣:an (with initial reduction), either in a participial or finite (pres. ƛ̣:an in Arch.) function.
