North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *Gwǝ̆mV
Meaning: dense
Notes: Phonetically the EC-WC parallel is quite satisfactory. As far as the meaning is concerned, for PWC we have to suppose a change *'dense' > 'thick' which seems to be quite motivated.

Proto-West-Caucasian: *ʁʷǝmǝ ( ~ Gʷ-)
Meaning: thick (of objects with circular surface)
Adyghe: ʁʷǝmǝ

Comments: PAK *ʁʷǝmǝ́. Shagirov's (1,137) attempt to analyse the PAK form as 'board' (PWC *Gʷǝ, not retained in AK) + 'thick' (*mǝ, a root which does not exist) was certainly unsuccessful.
