Rutul

Etymology

A Turkic borrowing: compare Azerbaijani qovaq, Turkish kavak (“poplar”).[1] See also Lezgi къавах (q̄avaꭓ).

The supposed form kalax cited by Erckert is probably a typo. Note that he marks it as a Turkic borrowing like the other Caucasian forms with -v-, but unlike Lak кӏялахӏи (kʼaˤlaħi).

Noun

къавах (q:avaꭓ)

  1. poplar[2]
