Proto-Dargwa: *=erc:- / *=uc:-
Meaning: 1 to bake, roast 2 to roast (grain)
Akusha: =erz-es 1
Chiragh: =erc:- /=uc:-
Comments: It seems worthwhile to note also PD *=imč:Vr- / *=umč:- 'to warm oneself, warm up' (Ak. =umž-es, Ur. =imǯVr- / =umǯ-) which can reflect a variant of the same EC root with a secondary labialisation ( *=ĭmʒ́wĔr). The non-labialised variant, because of the regular change *ʒ́ > *c:, is in PD confused with the reflex of PEC *=ĕrc_Ă 'to roast (grain)' q.v.
