Reconstruction notes
This is a tentative reconstruction, as Proto-Avar-Andi-Tsezic *ɬ:ɨn and Proto-Nakh *xi (obl. *xi- or *xin-) both only allow us to reconstruct Proto-Northeast-Caucasian *ɬ:ɨn. However, Lezghian data suggests that this may be the "*ɨ-grade" ablaut form of a noun whose absolutive form (unmarked) contains the vowel *ɔ, if the vowel alterations in Tsaxur x'an (obl. xine-), Rutul xäd (obl. xiji-), Kryz xäd (obl. xidi-), Khinalug xu (obl. xɨn-) are cognate to Proto-Nakh and Proto-Avar-Andi-Tsezic ablaut, but more work needs to be done to establish whether or not that's true (Schrijver 2021:143).
