Proto-North Caucasian: *=ic̣Ă
Meaning: to give, compensate; to put
Proto-West Caucasian: *c̣V Notes: Correspondences are regular, and the comparison seems phonetically and semantically plausible. Cf. perhaps also Khin. ši-c̣- 'to write' ('to put down', cf. an analogous derivation in several Lezgian languages: Lezg. k-xi-, Ag. k-ix-, Rut. k-i=xe- 'to write' from PL *ʔeʎe- 'to put').
