Proto-Lezghian: *p:oq(a)
Meaning: 1 faeces 2 cow's dung
Lezghian: p:ɨχ (Khl.) 1
Rutul: bɨq (Khniukh.) 2
Kryz: bɨq (Al.) 1
Comment: In Lezg. -q > -χ (but cf. erg. p:q:á-di, pl. p:q:a-r). Irregular expressive reflexes of the same root are probably Arch. (with metathesis and abnormal consonant reflexes) qip 'faeces', qup-un 'dried snot in nose', Rut. (Luch.) paq "bear's dung".
