Avar-Andian etymology :

Protoform: *ħarHi

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: eye

Avar: ber

Chadakolob: ber

Andian language: harḳu

Akhvakh: ḳeha

Chamalal: hač̣a

Tindi: haḳ́a

Karata: harḳa

Botlikh: haj

Bagvalal: hač̣a

Godoberi: haj

Comments: Av. paradigm A ( bér-zul, búr-dul); cf. also the locative stem bá-di. Within Andian some forms (Botl., God.; cf. also Cham. Gig. haj) go back to the simple root *harHi, but most forms reflect the diminutive derivate *har(Hi)-ḳV. In Akhvakh there occurred a metathesis: ḳeha < *heḳa < *harHi-ḳV.

Nakh etymology :

Proto-Nakh: *bʡa

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: eye

Chechen: bʕärg

Ingush: bʕarg

Batsbi: bʕarḳ

Comments: The PN paradigm was *bʡa, *bʡare-, with a diminutive form *bʡare-ḳ, which was preserved in all languages. The form *bʡa survives as bʕa (somewhat archaic) in Chech. and Ing. The word vacillates between 5th and 6th classes in all languages (bj in Bacb.).

Tsezian etymology :

Proto-Tsezian: *ħɔre B

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: eye

Tsezi: ozuri

Ginukh: üžej

Khvarshi: ezal

Inkhokvari: ezol

Bezhta: häre

Gunzib: hare

Comments: Two oblique bases are reconstructable for PTs: *ħɔ- (cf. PGB *ha-, Bezht. hä-, Gunz. ha-) and *ħɔZʷe- (cf. PTsKh *ʔözʷe-, Gin. pl. üže-be, Inkh. eza-). The direct base PTsKh *ʔözʷǝR is obviously a contamination of a former direct base *ʔöR (= PGB *hare) and oblique *ʔözʷe-.

Lak etymology :

Lak root: ja

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: eye

Lak form: ja

Comments: 3d class, obl. base ja-ni-. The old oblique base, however, had been i-t:a-, and it is preserved in adverbial forms like it:a-w 'into eyes', it:a-lu 'under eyes' etc., as well as in some old compounds.

Dargwa etymology :

Proto-Dargwa: *ħuli

Udi: pul

Comment: Obl. base PL *ʔʷile-, cf. Lezg. wili, Tab. uli-, Ag. uli-, Rut. uli-, Tsakh. ul'e-. 3d class in all class-distinguishing languages. The Archi form is originally plural ( *ʔʷil-Vr ).

Abkhaz-Adyghe etymology :

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: eye

Abkhaz: á-la

Abaza: la

Adyghe: na

Kabardian: na

Ubykh: bLa

Comments: PAT *(bǝ)la (in Abkh. dialect variations: á-bla and á-la). Certain problems are connected with the PAK form *na : it is certainly related to PAT and Ub. forms (even several identical compounds with the component 'eye' may be observed in AK and other languages), but reasons for nasalisation are not clear (regularly *da would be expected; note that in this case the root would be homonymous with *da < *ĺA 'ear' q.v.).

Meaning: eye

Ket: dēś

Yug: des

Kottish: tīš, асс. teš, tiš

Arin: ti-eŋ

Pumpokol: dat

Comments: ССЕ 220. The root proper is *de- (cf. the Arin form representing an original pluralm as well as Kott. te-gan, te-kan 'light' = 'eye' + 'light', see *gǝʔn); the final *-s is a singulative morpheme (cf. -sa in *xu-sa 'one', as well as *pa 'time(s)' : *pa-s 'one time'). Werner 1, 187 <*det' / *des>.

High Navarrese: letagin, litagin, latagin

Baztanese: litain

Zuberoan: letágin

Comments: A compound of *le- (a reduced form of PSC *ʡwĭlʡí 'eye') + Bsq *hagin 'tooth' (q.v.). The intervening *-t- is a fossilized oblique marker, familiar from other Bsq compounds (cf. sutargi 'firelight' < *śu + *-t- + *argi, etc.). Western Bsq betagin is an innovative reinterpretation, based on Bsq *begi 'eye' (q.v.).

Meaning: evident, visible

Russian meaning: очевидный, видимый

Turkic: *iler-

Meaning: to be dimly visible

Karakhanid: iler- (MK)

Oyrat: eles 'silhouette, ghost', eleste- 'be dimly visible'

Comments: EDT 150. The form attested in MK cannot be a mongolism (primarily for semantic reasons); however, Mong. ilere- also cannot be a Turkism, being rather derived from Mong. ile. Modern Turkic forms - Tuva ilere-, Oyr. iler- 'to become visible' are obvious late mongolisms.
