Proto-Nakh: *lVwV
Meaning: roe
Chechen: lū
Ingush: lij-g
Comments: 3d class in Chech. and Ing. (the Ing. form is a diminutive < *lVw-iḳ). Cf. also Chech. Lev. lū 'mountain goat'. Since there is no Bacb. form, the Inlaut is not quite clear (theoretically, *-w-, *-b-, *-d- or *-g- may be reconstructed).
