Proto-North Caucasian: *ć_ä̆q̇wă ~ *ć̣_ä̆qwă
Meaning: scoop, spoon, wooden vessel
Notes: Besides some metatheses (of the glottalisation feature, and of root consonants as such), which are usual in roots containing two stops, correspondences are regular, and the etymology seems quite satisfactory. Note the frequent use of the derivate in *-lV in EC (reflected in Av. č̣:iḳa-ro, Lak. ḳič̣a-la, PD *ḳuc̣u-l).
