\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *mV
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: an interrogative stem
Proto-Nakh: *mV
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *ʔi-mV
Proto-Dargwa: *mu-rt
Proto-Lezghian: *mo-sa
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The same stem possibly can be discovered in Lak. cu-ma 'who, which' (a compound with cu 'who'). Note a striking parallelism between PL *mo-sa 'when' and PN *ma-ca(n) id.

    [Since initial *mu- must be regularly dropped in Lak., it would be possible to derive Lak. ta 'when' < *mu(r)-ta = PD *mu-rt].
