Proto-Lezghian: *ʔiq̇:Ia-
Meaning: to divide
Budukh: e=q̇-
Archi: q̇Ia-
Comment: It is hard to separate the Bud. and Arch. forms, although the correspondence is not quite regular: the Archi morphonology shows that Archi has a tense q̇:I (cf. e. g. 3d cl. ba-q̇:Ia-s), going back to PL *q̇:I - which should be reflected in Bud. as -q-. Therefore either there is a misspelling in the Archi recordings, or there occurred an irregular development in Budukh.
