Lak root: qʷa
Meaning: oath
Lak form: qa
Comments: Cf. Khosr. qʷa id. The Lak. name for 'wedding' is probably derived from the same root (as 'oath-taking'): cf. Lak. qaṭi, Khosr. qʷaṭi 'wedding' (for the dental suffix cf. perhaps forms like Av. hé-di-ze, hédi, Arch. χʷe-t:a-s, χʷet:i 'oath' - although the glottalisation of -ṭ- in Lak. is a problem).
