Proto-Lezghian: *p:oṭ (~-u-)
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: 1 penis 2 vagina
Agul: buṭ 1
Budukh: biṭi 2
Comment: The Ag. and Bud. words are hard to separate; in view of the external evidence the Ag. meaning must be secondary (through an intermediate meaning like "clitoris" - cf. analagous semantic shifts in the root *ḳħǝlč̣V). With expressive irregularities cf. also Tab. Düb. baIt:aj 'vagina (of a girl)'.
