Comment: Cf. also Lezg. k-iče-z 'pour, sprinkle', Bud. s-eχči 'jump', q:-eči 'vomit'; Rut. s-a=če- 'to pour, strew'; Tab. h-e=č- 'to winnow'. Semantic shifts ('flow,pour' > 'jump, fly' or > 'vomit') are quite usual. It is interesting to note an expressive reduplicated stem in Lezgian (čarčar 'waterfall'), possibly derived from this root and identic to PA *čʷarčʷa ( ~ o) id.
