Proto-North Caucasian: *=iŁV
Meaning: to put
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The original meaning must be reconstructed as 'to put', with many secondary semantic developments (especially in Nakh languages). In PTs we would rather expect a *-L:- - the development of a lateral obstruent to *-l- in PTs is rather unique and must be explained by dissimilation with the early added *g-preverb (the lateral fricative lost its usual velar timbre and changed into a resonant).
