North Caucasian etymology :

Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *ʕapālq̇wĔ(~ *ɦ-)
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: burdock; leaf
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *HabuḳV
Proto-Tsezian: *ʕemuq̇(a)
Proto-Dargwa: *heq̇ul(i)
Proto-Lezghian: *palq̇Iʷ
Proto-West Caucasian: *p:ǝǴǝ (~*b-)
Notes: In Av. the voiced -b- is obviously secondary (a normal result of *-p- > *-ṗ- /before a glottalised stop/ > -b-). Otherwise the correspondences are regular (*-l- disappearing in cluster in Av. and yielding nasalisation in PTs). The PD form probably comes from *hepq̇ul(i) with reduction of the medial vowel and cluster simplification.

    There are some doubts whether the WC form belongs here (in this case a usual delabialisation *-Gʷ- > *-G- after a labial should be assumed) or to another root (*panG_VlhV 'leaf; bark' q.v.) - both possibilities should be considered.

Proto-Lezghian: *palq̇Iʷ
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: burdock
Lezghian: penq̇ʷ
Tabasaran: parq̇Iʷ
Agul: parq̇Iʷ
Rutul: paq̇Iʷal (Khnov.)
Tsakhur: panq̇Iale (Gelm.)
Budukh: peq̇
Comment: Cf. also Tab. Kand. palq̇Iʷ 'young burdock', Düb. pilq̇i - these forms clearly demonstrate the original quality of the Inlaut resonant. The Rut. and Tsakh. forms reveal a partial contamination with PL *parq̇:ul: q.v. 3d class in Rut., Tsakh. and Bud.
