Proto-Lezghian: *ƛ̣:ʷema
Meaning: 1 ravine 2 brook, stream
Lezghian: ḳam 1
Tsakhur: goma 2 (Gelm.)
Comment: Cf. also Lezg. Khl. k:am 'ravine, stream' - pointing unambiguosly to *ƛ̣:. Because of this any possibility of borrowing from Ossetian kom 'mouth; ravine' (suggested in Abayev 1958, 598-599) is excluded.
