\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *c̣ǝ̆wrē ( ~ -a)
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: pointed stick
Proto-Nakh: *c̣ur ( ~ -ū-)
Proto-Tsezian: *r[e]c̣u ( ~ l-)
Proto-Lezghian: *c̣ura ( / *ruc̣a)
Proto-West Caucasian: *c̣ʷǝ
Notes: Except for metatheses in PTs and (occasionally) in PL, correspondences are regular, and the etymology seems reliable. Abdokov (1983, 133) compares the WC forms with another EC root (see *c̣wɨ̄ɫɦV 'stick'), which seems less convincing both for phonetic and semantic reasons.
