Proto-Lezghian: *ʔarʎɨ-
Meaning: 1 to fall 2 to go down, roll down 3 to get into
Lezghian: aw-ax- 2
Tabasaran: a=x- 1
Agul: arx- 3
Tsakhur: q:aʔ-a=xa- 1
Budukh: araxa- / a=xu-
Comment: The verb is very productive (used with many preverbs, especially in Tab. and Ag. - cf. Ag. ʁ-arx- 'to lie down, to sleep' etc.), but sometimes tends to contaminate with the roots *ʔeʎe- 'to put' and *ʔeʎ:ʷɨ- 'to lie, to put' which are to be strictly distinguished.
