Proto-North Caucasian: *=ācĒ(n)
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: to catch, take
Proto-Nakh: *ʔēc-
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *=icVn- ( ~ -s-)
Proto-Tsezian: *=es(:) (~-ɨ-,-ǝ-)
Proto-Lak: =aci-
Proto-Dargwa: *=uc-
Proto-Lezghian: *ʔaca(n)-
Proto-West Caucasian: *ć:ǝ
Notes: A rather well represented common NC root. PA *=icVn- and PL *ʔacan- point to *-n-conjugation, which has been lost in PD for some unclear reason. The vowel must be reconstructed as *-ā-, with an Ablaut reflex in PA (*-i-); -u- in PD is not quite clear.

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: 1 to catch 2 to nurse
Tabasaran: k:-a=c- 2
Agul: f-ac- 1
Archi: sa- 1
Comment: Cf. Ag. Tp. f-acan- 'to catch' (pointing to *-n-conjugation in PL). Arch. sa- reflects the Ablaut grade *ʔica(n)-. In Kryz. cf. also ʕacn- 'to put inside' (the stem -(a)cn- in Kryz. is used only as durative - in pres. and prohib.). There may have existed a similar root *ʔaca- 'to put on (clothes)': Ag. q-ac-, Tp. q-aca- (with -0-conjugation, opposed to f-acan- with -n-conjugation), Arch. a=sa-.

Yenisseian etymology :

Search within this database
Proto-Yenisseian: *kas- (~g-)
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: to take
Ket: kɔ:śi4 (Kur.), Bak., Sur. kɔ:śǝ4 // kɔśǝ4, South. kɔś4 [but Werner 1, 413: kaś-]
Yug: kasɛsaŋ6 "in order to take"
Pumpokol: kasna "take" (Срсл) [Yug?]
Comments: The Pump. form (Срсл) is most probably Yug. In ССЕ 234-235 I have explained the irregular correspondence between Ket and Yug by a contamination of *kas- and *qōs- q.v. Werner 1, 413, however, corrects the Ket forms like kɔ̄:si to qɔ:śi and adds distinct Ket forms like kaśaś 'nehmen (kaufen)', thus clarifying the situation and allowing to avoid a contamination hypothesis. See *qōs-.

Comments: Forms of the type (h)atzaman, (h)atzeman 'to catch, find, find out, guess' are derived rather from *hace 'back part, track' + *e=ma-n 'to give', but blending is not ruled out.
