Protoform: *=iq̇-
Meaning: 1 to ripen 2 ripe
Avar: ʕe- 1
Andian language: =iq̇u= 2 (Leksika)
Akhvakh: =iq̇- 1 (Ratl.)
Tindi: =ill- 1, =illu= 2
Karata: =eʔ- 1
Godoberi: =iʔa= 2
Comments: Cf. also Akhv. Tseg. =iʔ-, Tlan. =iq̇-, Kar. Tok. =iʕ- id. The Tindi form with -ll- probably reflects a suffixed variant *=iq̇-Vl- > *=iʔl- > =ill-. In Avar the root is homonymous with ʕe- 'to be enough, sufficient' - which is a secondary merger (see *=ǝ̆q̇wVn 'to be enough'). The root *=iq̇- 'to ripen' should be also distinguished from *=iq̇- (/*=aq̇-) 'to reach' (see *=arq̇Vr), although their reflexes in Av.-And. are very similar and they certainly had influenced each other.
