Proto-Lezghian: *χʷäj(a)
Meaning: 1 oath 2 anger
Tabasaran: χu 1
Agul: χIuj (Bursh.) 1
Archi: χʷe-t:i 1
Udi: χuj 2
Comment: Cf. also Tab. Düb. χuj, Ag. Fit. χIuj, Burk. χi. Pharyngealization in Ag. dialects is secondary (before an original front vowel). The Arch. form is actually a back-building from the derived verb χʷe-t:a- 'to swear, take oath'.
