Avar-Andian etymology :
Search within this database
Protoform: *ʔanʎ:V
Meaning: ram (ungelt)
Andian language: anʎ:i
Akhvakh: ãʎ:i
Chamalal: ãʎ:-kʷĩ
Tindi: anʎi
Bagvalal: ãʎ: (Tlond.)
Comments: There is some confusion in records as to the strength of *ʎ : Bokarev has -ʎ- in Cham. (U.-Gakv.), and Magomedbekova - in Akhvakh, whereas the MSU records have -ʎ:- in both cases. On the other hand, the Tind. form in the MSU recording is ãʎi - but Inkhokvari in a form, obviously borrowed from Tindi, has ãʎʎi. In general, it seems that evidence rather favours strong *ʎ:.

North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *ɦānx_V (~ *ʕ-)
Meaning: mountain goat; ram
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Correspondences are regular - except that we would rather expect *ǝ̃ or *ĩ, not *ã in PTs (since PN has a long vowel here). Thus it is not excluded that the PTs form was borrowed from early PA.

Nakh etymology :

Proto-Nakh: *ħāχ
Meaning: mountain goat
Chechen: ħeχ
Ingush: ħaʁ
Batsbi: ħaχ
Comments: The reason for voicing -χ > -ʁ in Ing. is unclear. In Chech. the vowel -e- is due to analogy with the oblique base ħēχara- ( < *ħāχi-ri-). 3d class in Chech., 6th class in all languages.
