Proto-Lezghian: *ʔarq̇I:ä-
Meaning: 1 to see 2 to watch, look 3 to be found
Tabasaran: raqI:- 1
Agul: raqI:a- 1 (Bursh)
Rutul: g-a=q:a- 2
Kryz: irq- 1
Budukh: irq- 1
Udi: b-aʁIa-jesun 3
Comment: The Kryz. and Bud. form reflect the PL Ablaut grade *ʔirq̇I:ä-; the Auslaut *ä is reconstructed on basis of Ag. (Bursh. raqI:a-s) and Rut. (g-aq:a-s, pl. ga-q:e-s). Not quite clear is the loss of pharyngealization in Rut. See Хайдаков 1973, 121.
