\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *ʔwǟrćwǝ̆
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: skin; colour
Proto-Nakh: *ɦārcu
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *ʔi(r)či
Proto-Lezghian: *ʔwä(r)čʷ
Proto-West Caucasian: *cʷa
Notes: Cf. also Hurr. ašχi 'skin' (regularly < *arci, see Diakonoff-Starostin 1986, 47). An interesting common NC root. The original meaning is obviously "skin" > "surface, exterior, color" > (change of color = ) "anger, anxiety". The whole spectre of meanings is present both in EC and in WC languages.

    See Abdokov 1983, 76 (Shakhdagh-WC; all other EC forms cited by the author do not belong here).
