\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *=āṭwV
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: to cut, hew
Proto-Nakh: *χ-āṭ- / *χ-ēṭ-
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *=aṭʷ- ( ~ -o-)
Proto-Tsezian: *=ǝṭ- / *ṭǝṭ-
Proto-Lak: l-iṭu-
Proto-Dargwa: *=arṭ-
Proto-Lezghian: *ʔaṭʷɨ-
Proto-Khinalug: ṭʷ-i, ṭü-li
Proto-West Caucasian: *ṭʷǝ
Notes: Medial -r- is obviously secondary in PD (other languages do not have any traces of it), and may be a remnant of the separate durative morpheme. The root demonstrates the old Ablaut *a / *i.

    -n-conjugation in the Av.-And. variant *ṭʷVn- may be secondary, or else it may reflect quite a different EC root, whose remnants in other subgroups are possibly Darg. Chir. čer=iṭVn- / čer=ilṭ- 'to skin, cut off skin'; Arch. arṭin- 'to take meat off the bones; to gnaw' (although the semantic difference between Darg. and Arch. forms, on one hand, and Av.-And. forms, on the other, is considerable, and the etymology is only tentative).

    See Абдоков 1983, 181.
