Tsezian etymology :

Proto-Tsezian: *-at- / *-aṭ-

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: a negative particle

Inkhokvari: -ate

Gunzib: -aṭ-

Comments: An irregular correspondence (ṭ/t) is explained by the grammatical nature of the morph. Cf. also Gunz. -iṭ- suffix of negative past gerund (showing that the vowel here does not belong to the negative affix itself).

Proto-North Caucasian: *dV

Meaning: a negative particle

Proto-Avaro-Andian: *-dA

Proto-Tsezian: *-at- / *-aṭ-

Proto-Lezghian: *t:V-

Proto-Khinalug: -n-dä-

Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. This negative particle is widely used in Lezghian languages, more seldom - elsewhere. Violations of phonetic rules (devoicing in PTs, Ud.) are explained by the grammatical nature of the root.

Lezghian etymology :

Proto-Lezghian: *t:V-

Meaning: not

Lezghian: t:-

Tabasaran: d-

Agul: d-

Tsakhur: d-

Kryz: d-

Budukh: d-

Archi: -ṭu

Udi: te

Comment: The common Lezgian negative morpheme, which could be used both in prefixed and suffixed positions. Glottalisation in Arch. is clearly secondary (the final vowel was probably originally lost, and there occurred a neutralisation of the glottalisation feature in the Auslaut position; later a new parasitic vowel was added).
