Proto-Lezghian: *q̇oloq̇
Meaning: 1 egg 2 testiculus 3 fried eggs
Tabasaran: q̇urq̇ur 2 (Düb.)
Rutul: q̇ɨlɨq̇ 2 (Khniukh)
Tsakhur: q̇uq̇ 1
Budukh: q̇aluq̇ 2
Udi: qI:aqI:apun 3
Comment: In Bud. cf. perhaps also the adjective q̇uq̇al 'spheric, round' (which would make it possible to compare also Arch. q̇ʷerq̇ǝ-bos 'to roll' < *q̇ʷelq̇V-). 3d class in Rut., Tsakh. and Bud. In Udi there is an unclear suffixed -pun.

North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *q̇wāq̇wV(-ɫV)
Meaning: seed, grain, egg
Notes: An expressive reduplicated root (its expressive nature probably explains pharyngealisation in PD). The common morphological formation (reflexes of *-ɫV in And., Inkh. and PL, where *q̇oloq̇ < *q̇ʷaq̇-ol with metathesis), however, makes the PEC reconstruction rather probable.

Proto-Sino-Caucasian: *q̇wāq̇wV̄́(-ɫV)

Basque etymology :

Proto-Basque: *koko
Meaning: 1 egg (child's word) 2 food (any kind) (child's word)
Bizkaian: koko 1
Gipuzkoan: koko 1
Low Navarrese: koko 1
Salazarese: koko 2
Roncalese: koko 2
Comments: A child's word, but very similar to Tsakhur q̇uq̇ 'egg'. (Children's words can represent old words that have survived due to their expressive value: cf. Bsq *čiči 'meat'.) This is possibly the ultimate origin of 'coco-(nut)'. (Basque sailors calling the new-world nut 'egg-nut'?)
