\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *mărƛwĂ
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: cloud, rain-cloud
Proto-Nakh: *marχo
Proto-Lak: bark
Proto-Dargwa: *mark(ʷ)a
Proto-Lezghian: *marʎʷ
Proto-West Caucasian: *pǝƛa
Notes: Correspondences are regular: in PWC a usual denasalisation of *m- before a (former) medial liquid, and delabialisation *ƛʷ > *ƛ after a labial initial. Not quite clear, however, is the denasalisation (m- > b-) in the Lak. dialectal form. The comparison seems quite reliable both phonetically and semantically.
