Proto-North Caucasian: *HɫuŁV̄
Meaning: sleeve; wing
Notes: Reconstructed for the EC level. The PD (*dulk:ʷa < *duluk:a) and PL form point to the PEC structure *HRVCV̄; this should have given *HVRCV (in this case, *HulŁV) in Avaro-Ando-Cezian languages. However,the root was preserved only within a compound with *kwīlʡɨ'hand', and the first syllable was reduced both in Avaro-Andian and Cezian languages. In general, the comparison seems quite plausible.
