\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *gīrgwV
Meaning: circle, round
Proto-Nakh: *gōga
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *girg(ʷ)V-
Proto-Lak: k:urk:i-
Proto-Dargwa: *gulgul-/*gurgur-
Proto-Lezghian: *girgʷV-
Proto-Khinalug: gongʷaz
Proto-West Caucasian: *ǵaǵa/*ǵʷaǵwa
Notes: An expressive and rather universal root (cf., e.g., PK *mgrgod- 'round', IE *krengho- (WP 594, Vasmer 2,385)); it is, however, widely spread in NC languages and certainly can be reconstructed for PNC. See also *gwērV (it is possible that *gīrgwV is historically a reduplication of that root).
