Comment: The root is an original adverb, and is preserved in Arch. in this function: ʎ:ʷa 'together', ʎ:ʷa-k 'near' (cf. perhaps also Rut. xur-baj 'in front'?). In all other Lezghian languages it is preserved only as a case suffix (this function had been present already in PL, cf. Arch. -ʎ:u id.) or a preverb meaning 'near, by'.
