Rutul: s-u=ga- 2
Tsakhur: a=gʷal- 2

Comment: Cf. also Tab. Düb. d-u=g- 'to lose, get lost'; Ag. Bursh. gulan- id. With a prefixed *t:-, besides Tab., cf. Rut. d-agul haʔa-s 'to steal', Tsakh. d́-ugul xes 'to hide'. Archi and Kryz reflect only a deverbal (participial) form (in Kryz - as part of a compound verb); most languages reflect the Ablaut grade *i, but grade *ä is reflected in Tsakh. and Bud. (in Tsakhur there still is a live alternation: a=gʷal- in term., i=gʷal- in dur.).
