\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *ṭūgV̄
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: he-goat
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *ṭuka
Proto-Tsezian: *ṭig̥1̇a
Proto-West Caucasian: *t:ak:a- ( ~ -ḱ:-)
Notes: Correspondences are regular, and the etymology seems quite reliable. See Abdokov 1983, 117 (EC : Kab.).

    One feels tempted to compare this root with PEC *dHogwV 'donkey, ass' (q.v.), spread in the Lak-Darg-Lezg. area (all the forms could be united under a single protoform *ṭHōgwV, assuming some metatheses and possibly interdialectal loans); however, there still remain semantic and phonetic difficulties, and the question is still open.
