\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *mĕrs_A
Meaning: hair, long rag, thread
Proto-Nakh: *mos
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *mus:VrV
Proto-Tsezian: *mos: (~-u-,-s)
Proto-Lak: lis:u
Proto-Lezghian: *märs:(a)
Proto-Khinalug: mɨsɨr
Proto-West Caucasian: *p:ǝ̃sa
Notes: For PNC we can reconstruct also the obl. form *mĕrs_A-lV- (reflected in several Lezg. forms, Khin., AAnd. and Lak.). The Laki form lis:u reflects a regular dropping of initial *mV- (lis:u < *mVlis:u, the latter being a metathesized form of *mV(r)s:i-lu).

    The WC forms are very likely to belong here, too, although problems are raised by initial *p:- (we should expect *bǝsa); it may be a result of irregular dissimilative development within the PWC compound **bǝ̃la-bǝsa.
