Proto-North Caucasian: *ɫăwqV̄ (/*-ăwqV̄ɫ)
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: many, enough
Proto-Nakh: *duqa
Proto-Tsezian: *laχ:i ( ~ -ʁ-)
Proto-Dargwa: *-aqal
Proto-Lezghian: *l[a]wχ-
Proto-West Caucasian: *q:V
Notes: Initial *ɫ- is proved by the PL and Gunz. forms. In PN and PD class prefixes were added which led to the shift of *ɫ- to the stem's end; the inanimate class prefix *r- > *d- was later petrified in PN. Processes like this are quite usual for adjectival and verbal roots. In general the etymology seems quite plausible.

Proto-West-Caucasian: *q:V
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: 1 to suffice 2 large, big
Abkhaz: á-z-χa-ra 1
Abaza: na-qa-ra 1
Adyghe: -qǝ 2
Kabardian: -q: 2
Comments: PAT *qa (used only with preverbs) 'to suffice, be enough'; cf. also Abkh. á-mč́-χa-ra 'sufficient strength'. In PAK the root is used only in compounds: Ad. nǝba-q, Kab. nǝba-q: 'pot-bellied', Ad. ca-mǝ-q, Kab. ʒa-mǝ-q: 'with large teeth' (see Kuipers 1975, 64). The semantic correlation "sufficient" : "large, big" is quite common.
