Proto-North Caucasian: *Hläƛ̣V
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: liver
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *riƛ̣V
Proto-Lak: t:iliḳ
Proto-Dargwa: *duleḳ
Proto-Lezghian: *läƛ̣
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Length of the final vowel is unclear: the Av. paradigm C and the structure of the root in PA (*RVCV) point to a short vowel; however, Eastern Dagestan forms presuppose a form like *Hläƛ̣V̄. Metathesized *Hƛ̣älV might have also existed (cf. Avar ṭul - if it belongs here, see above), in which case we can also compare Urart. zel-dǝ 'liver' (see Diakonoff-Starostin 1986, 48-49).

    Abdokov's (1982, 83) attempt to compare this root with WC *c̣ʷA 'liver' should be regarded as unsuccessful (for phonetic reasons, and because of a better etymology for the WC form, q.v.).
