Proto-Lezghian: *č̣änḳ ( ~ -a-)
Meaning: trap
Lezghian: č̣enḳ-er (Khl.)
Rutul: č̣anḳ
Tsakhur: č̣anḳ
Comment: Cf. also Rut. Khniukh. č̣enḳ. Obl. base *č̣änḳɨ- (cf. Rut. Khniukh. č̣enḳi-, Tsakh. č̣anḳɨ-). 3d class in Rut. and Tsakh. The resemblance to Pers., Az. čäng 'claw' is quite coincidental (foreign č and g are not usually rendered by glottalised consonants in Lezghian languages).
