Proto-Lezghian: *c̣ura ( / *ruc̣a)
Meaning: 1 vertical lock; bracelet 2 woman's adorned belt
Tabasaran: c̣ur 1
Tsakhur: c̣ura 2
Comment: The original meaning is probably "wedge serving as a lock" (with a secondary development > "bracelet, adorned belt"). 3d class in Tsakh. The Tab. Kand. dialect has actually two words: c̣ur 'vertical door-lock; bracelet; loop of the lock' and ruc̣ 'lock with a hook'. Since there are no reasons to suppose two originally different roots, one of these two words is obviously a result of interdialectal borrowing.
