Proto-North Caucasian: *ɦĕq̇wV
Meaning: heavy
Notes: The root has changing class prefixes (or their reflexes) in Av., PTs and PD; it is hard to determine in this case whether this is is an archaism or an innovation. Phonetic correspondences are regular (except for the vowel -i- in PL, where one would rather expect -ä-; this is probably due to the PL Ablaut *ä/i).
