Comments: PAT *qa (used only with preverbs) 'to suffice, be enough'; cf. also Abkh. á-mč́-χa-ra 'sufficient strength'. In PAK the root is used only in compounds: Ad. nǝba-q, Kab. nǝba-q: 'pot-bellied', Ad. ca-mǝ-q, Kab. ʒa-mǝ-q: 'with large teeth' (see Kuipers 1975, 64). The semantic correlation "sufficient" : "large, big" is quite common.
