Reconstruction notes

[edit]

According to Klimov here also belongs Svan ლა-ლ-ე̄მ (la-l-ēm), which supposedly goes back directly to the proto-form before the expected ჭკ / შკ ← *ჭ (č̣ḳ / šḳ ← *č̣) cluster had developed, the vowel length supposedly compensating for the loss of *ჭ (*č̣). This is rejected by Fähnrich–Sarǯvelaʒe; Čuxua adds ა-ჭკჷმ-ე (a-č̣ḳəm-e), which corresponds regularly.
