Protoform: *sVHVmV
Meaning: mint
Avar: saʕán
Chadakolob: šam
Comments: Av. paradigm B~C (gen. saʕní-l; Chad. gen. šimí-l, but also šámi-l). Av. dial. > Bezht., Gunz. sam 'mint'. It is also highly probable that Lak. san (samu-l) 'ramson' is also a borrowing from the same root in some Av. dialect.

North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *śVɦVjmV
Meaning: a k. of odorous grass
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Correspondences are regular, although it is somewhat difficult to reconstruct vocalism (because of the root's trisyllabic nature and the medial laryngeal). The cluster *-jm- is reconstructed to account for the development *s- > *sṭ- in PN and for the development *-Vjm > *-Ṽ in PC. Cf. also HU: Hurr. šim-ri 'fennel' (see Diakonoff-Starostin 1986, 23).
