kpq

@Victar, what's the code kpq supposed to be? It can't be the Papuan language Korupun-Sela. --Vahag (talk) 09:58, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

@Vahagn Petrosyan: Hah, yeah, I would appreciate some help. It's supposed to be "Dagi". --Victar (talk) 15:16, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

@Victar, the form urči is found in Dargwa. So the "Dagi" in your source is probably a misspelling of that language name. --Vahag (talk) 17:55, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

@Vahagn Petrosyan: I think that's it! Probably what the author was going for was Dagi, as in the official language of Dagestan, which is Dargwa (I've also seen Dagin). --Victar (talk) 22:33, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

@Victar: Why did you do this? Why should all of the Caucasian languages have borrowed *c as č? Besides, at the very least Kartvelian terms look like onomatopoeia or lallwort.

Note also Burushaski [script needed] (ćho, “away! (said to horses); horse (children's language)”). კვარია (talk) 09:45, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

@კვარია: /c/ and /č/ are just spellings -- they can represent many things. Did you read {{R:Witzel:2003|20}}^[1]? --{{victar|talk}} 18:27, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Indeed. What do c and ć stand for? I'm asking because Kartvelian terms are sometimes explained as Abkhaz borrowings. კვარია (talk) 20:01, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
