\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *q̇wănʔū
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: flat surface
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *q̇ʷVnV
Proto-Tsezian: *q̇ej(V) A
Proto-Lak: q̇an
Proto-Lezghian: *q̇ʷan
Proto-Khinalug: q̇on
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Correspondences are quite regular.

    One feels tempted to compare with this root PAK *náḳʷǝ 'cheek, face' (Ad., Kab. naḳʷ - Shagirov's /1, 278/ analysis of *ḳʷǝ here as *gʷǝ 'heart, middle' is not persuasive). However, there are at once two irregularities: one which is rather common (metathesis) and another - shift of *q̇ʷ to *ḳʷ - which is more difficult to account for. We can not offer any final solution.
