Meaning: 1 (arable) field 2 steppe 3 valley
Abkhaz: á-rχa 3
Abaza: rqa 1,2
Ubykh: tχʷa 1
Comments: PAT *rǝqa (cf. also Bzyb. á-rχa). Ub. def. á-tχʷa. Not quite clear is the loss of labialisation in PAT; otherwise correspondences are regular (in Ub. *rǝq:ʷa > *dǝqʷa > *tqʷa, regularly fricativized to tχʷa).

Andian language: χur

Comments: Av. paradigm B (χurú-l, χur-zál; but Chad. C: ħoró-l, ħúr-dal). Cf. also Akhv. Tseg., Tlan. χur, Kar. Tok. hur. Some languages in the direct stem reflect a special stem *qũša (or *χ-): cf. Bagv. (Gudava) hũša (but plur. hura-bi), Cham. Gig. χuša (but erg. χuru-di, pl. χu-dir), Tind. Akn. hũša. This is either an independent root (although its origin is not clear), or a trace of the archaic plural *qurH-ša (corresponding, e.g., to Chech. qa-š 'fields').
