Proto-Lezghian: *χʷärčVj
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: 1 worm 2 snake 3 spider
Agul: χuč-raχan 3
Tsakhur: χoče 2
Archi: χʷarši 1
Comment: The meaning 'spider' in Ag. (the same in Arch.: ḳʷeṭ-χʷarši 'spider', lit. "skein-worm") is due to contamination with another root, PL *χarVsʷ / *χasʷVr 'spider' q.v. Cf. perhaps also (with expressive pharyngealization) Ag. Burk. ħarčaj 'grasshopper, locust'.
