Abkhaz-Adyghe etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-West-Caucasian: *xʷV
Meaning: 1 price 2 to buy 3 to pay
Abkhaz: á-χʷ 1
Abaza: χʷǝ 1
Adyghe: š́a-fǝ-n 2
Kabardian: śa-xʷǝ-n 2
Ubykh: fa- 3
Comments: PAT *xʷǝ (cf. Bzyb. á-xʷ) 'price', *xʷǝ-ʕa- 'to buy' (Abkh. á-χʷħa-ra, Abaz. χʷʕa-ra); PAK *š́:a-xʷǝ- (a compound with *š́:a- 'to sell' in the first part); Ub. a-s-fá-n (cf. also a noun: fa 'profit'). In Ubykh *xʷ usually gets delabialised ( > x; Ubykh does not have a labialised xʷ); the reason why it changed to f in this case is unclear. Another solution would be to reconstruct PWC *fV ( regularly > Ub. f, PAK *xʷ) with an irregular (dialectal?) change *f > *xʷ in PAT.

North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *mV̄xwV̆ ( ~ -x_-,-f-)
Meaning: price, pay
Proto-West Caucasian: *xʷV Notes: The root behaves very similarly to PNC *maśwĔ 'price' (with the same loss of initial *mV- in a verbal root in PWC), and should be certainly reconstructed for PNC. The semantic difference between these two roots is yet to be established (in Ubykh they are opposed as 'profit, pay' : 'price'; in PAA as 'price, buy' : 'pay'). Cf. also HU: Hurr. niɣ-ari 'dowry' (see Diakonoff-Starostin 1986, 22).
