North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *s_ɨ̄nŏ (~-ǝ̆)
Meaning: long bone
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *sVnV Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The original meaning was probably 'long (curved) bone', with later developments > 'long bone, spine'; 'curve, angle, corner' (cf. a combination of both trends in Lezghian languages). The Avar form is somewhat strange phonetically (*s:in would be regularly expected), so it may be a borrowing from some unknown early source.

Lush. and KC t- is quite irregular: in fact, we may be dealing with another root, reflected also in Jnp. lǝthin1 heel. A problem is presented by the form *min, reflected in Kach. lǝmjin, Karen *mVN: it can be perhaps regarded as an irregular development < *m-sin, or else represent a completely different root.

Proto-Basque: *san-ko

Bizkaian: zanko 2, 7
Gipuzkoan: zanko, zango 2, 4, 7, zankar, zangar 5, 6
High Navarrese: zango 1, zangar 5

Baztanese: zango 3, zangar 5
Zuberoan: zankho 1, 2, 7
Roncalese: zanko 2, zankar 1
Comments: Apparently < PSC *sɨ̄́nŏ + (diminutive) *-ḳV. Bouda (1948) compared Bsq zanko, zango + Lak s:an 'foreleg'. The commonly supposed derivation from Old Persian zanga ‘leg’ (REW, etc.) is historically and geographically fanciful. As can be seen, this word is deeply embedded in Bsq and apparently has a long history in the language. Vasconic > Spanish > Italian is much more plausible.
