North Caucasian etymology :

Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *=arq̇Vr / *=irq̇Vr
Meaning: to reach
Proto-Nakh: *-iʔ-
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *=iq̇-
Proto-Tsezian: *=ɔq̇-
Proto-Lak: =ij=a-
Proto-Dargwa: *=aʔ-/=iʔ-
Proto-Lezghian: *ʔirq̇är-
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The vocalism raises some problems: we should probably reconstruct *=arq̇Vr as the basic variant and suppose that the durative Ablaut stem *=irq̇Vr was extended to terminative in several subgroups (PN, PA, Lak and PL).

Avar-Andian etymology :

Search within this database
Protoform: *=iq̇-
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: 1 to come 2 to be in time, have time 3 to reach
Avar: réʕ- 2
Andian language: =iG- 1
Akhvakh: =eq̇- 1
Chamalal: =ĩʔ- 1
Tindi: =e- 1
Karata: =aʔ- 3
Comments: The root reflects the PA Ablaut *=iq̇- (/*=aq̇- > Kar. -aʔ-) / *q̇i-r-. The second root variant is reflected in literary Avar (with metathesis) and in Kar. er- 'to reach', Cham. ir- 'to touch'. The form in Cham. reflects a secondary variant with suffixed -n (probably under influence of other verbs of movement), which may be also observed in Akhv. q̇un- 'to reach; to touch' (cf. also an opposition in the Ratl. dialect: =eq̇- 'to come' - =uq̇ũ 'to reach'); And. Gum-, Tind., Cham. un- 'to push'. Finally, And. Gʷob-d- 'to touch' reflects stem II with a -b-suffix (*q̇o-b-).
