Proto-North Caucasian: *=ērχ_wV
Meaning: to stay
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Medial -r- must be reconstructed to account for the correspondence PA *-χ:ʷ- : PL *-χ:ʷ- (otherwise PA *-χʷ- -in case of *-ēχ_wV, or PL *-χʷ- - in case of *-ēχwV - would be expected). All the languages attested, unfortunately, do not usually preserve Inlaut resonants in verbal stems.
