\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *s_ɨ̄nŏ (~-ǝ̆)
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: long bone
Proto-Nakh: *sān
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *sVnV
Proto-Tsezian: *s(:)ɨnu ( ~ z-)
Proto-Lak: s:an
Proto-Lezghian: *s:ɨn
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The original meaning was probably 'long (curved) bone', with later developments > 'long bone, spine'; 'curve, angle, corner' (cf. a combination of both trends in Lezghian languages). The Avar form is somewhat strange phonetically (*s:in would be regularly expected), so it may be a borrowing from some unknown early source.
