Protoform: *žali (~ -o-)
Meaning: 1 mane 2 fringe, forelock
Avar: žal 1
Karata: žale 1
Godoberi: žali 1
Comments: Av. paradigm B (žalá-l, žála-l). Resemblance to some Turkic forms ( < PT *jal 'mane') is purely accidental (Kumyk and Azeri - two languages from which the word could have been loaned - both have jal, not žal or ǯal).

Tsezian etymology :

Proto-Tsezian: *ž:ã
Meaning: horse's mane
Bezhta: žaro (Tlad.)
Gunzib: žãru
Comments: The PN paradigm must have been *ž:ã, *ž:aru-, and the PGB form *žãru can only be explained as a merger of the former direct and oblique stems - otherwise there is no way to explain the Gunz. nasalisation (impossible in PTs before -r-).
