Proto-Nakh: *măʁVl-ṭ
Meaning: cockle, weed
Chechen: merʁad
Ingush: maʁaldi
Comments: 4th class in Chech., but 3d class in Ing. The vowel's shortness is indicated by Chech. -e- (a long *-ā- in this position would yield -ä-). In Chech. there occurred a metathesis (*maʁVlṭ > *malʁVṭ with a subsequent change -l- > -r-). Nakh > Osset. mäɣälda 'cockle, weed' (Abayev 1973, 83).
