Search within this database
Proto-Lezghian: *ʎerʎ
Meaning: 1 spittle, saliva 2 snot 3 nose 4 moss 5 slime
Lezghian: xirx-am 4
Tabasaran: šurš 1
Agul: xirx 2 (Burk.)
Rutul: xex 3
Tsakhur: xirxi-man 5
Comment: Cf. also Tab. Düb. šurš (pointing to a week *ʎ). The meaning 'moss' in Lezg. is clearly derived from 'slime', and the meaning 'nose'in Rut. - from 'snot'. Obl. base *ʎerʎe- (cf. Ag. Burk. xirxi-, Rut. xexi-). 3d class in Rut., but 4th class in Tsakh. The Tab. form (or some unattested Ag. dialectal form) was borrowed in Darg. Chir. as šerš-ne (plur.) "spittle". See Талибов 1980.
