Proto-North Caucasian: *ɣwăʔi ( ~ -e)
Meaning: team-work, help
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *ħaʔi Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. One of the roots with the rare voiced fricative *ɣ. The Lak. form may be ultimately borrowed from Av. (with a semantic change), as are many Andian and Tsezian forms listed above; however, the PN : Av. : PA correspondence can not be explained by borrowing.
