Abkhaz-Adyghe etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-West-Caucasian: *q̇ǝča
Meaning: peach
Adyghe: q:ǝca
Kabardian: q:ǝca (dial.)
Comments: PAK *q:ǝcá. The PAK *q: can go back to PWC *q̇, *q:, *q̇I or *q:I; the PAK *-c- - to *c, *ć or *č. Shagirov's etymology (*q:ǝ 'plum' + *cǝ 'hair', see Shagirov 1, 229-230) is hardly acceptable, especially in view of the EC evidence. In the Adygh languages there is a constant interaction of two roots: *q:ǝca 'peach' and *pχʷǝ- 'plum' (see *pǝqʷV). The Shaps. dialect has always pχʷǝ- (pχʷǝca 'peach', pχʷǝśʷṭa 'plum'); other dialects tend to have q:ǝ- (cf. Ad. q:ǝca 'peach', q:ǝṗc̣a 'plum').

North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *q̇VrčĂ
Meaning: peach
Notes: Not quite clear is the loss of labialisation in PAK; otherwise correspondences between PEC and PWC are regular, and the reconstruction seems generally plausible (of course, if we dismiss secondary contaminations and mergers in the WC area).
