Proto-North Caucasian: *q_HōmVṭV
Meaning: snivel, snot
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. An expressive root with several irregularities: the most severe one is PA *χ:- instead of expected *q:-. Other irregularities are mostly assimilations (in PN: *q̇- < *q- before *ṭ; in PD: *-t < *ṭ after *q-) or dissimilations (in PTs, where -ṭ- would be expected). All this is rather usual in a root with two stops (especially in an expressive one).

Avar-Andian etymology :

Protoform: *χ:inṭV
Meaning: snivel, snot
Avar: χ:ojnč̣ér (Uslar)
Akhvakh: χ:ẽṭe
Tindi: χ:inṭa (Leksika)
Bagvalal: χinṭa (Leksika)
Comments: There is some confusion as to the strength of the initial consonant: Bagv. χinṭa is quoted from Лексика 1971 and thus may be a misspelling instead of *χ:inṭa (the recordings there are very inaccurate); in Akhv. we have χ:ẽṭe in the records of MSU, but χẽṭe (and also Tseg., Tlan., Ratl. χenṭe) in Magomedbekova's recordings. The Av. form χ:ojnč̣ér (Uslar) should be most probably explained as a compound *χ:Vnṭ ( = PA *χ:inṭV) + *ʕinčer; the second part is independently reflected in Av. Chad. ʕinčí (q.v.).

Proto-Tsezian: *χ:ɨdɔ (~ ʁ-)
Meaning: snot, snivel
Bezhta: χida
Gunzib: χɨdǝ (Gunz.)
Comments: PGB *χɨdɔ (cf. also Gunz. Nakh. χɨdo). Gin. χido 'snot' has no parallels in TsKh, and, to judge from the vocalism, is a loan from some GB dialect.

Comment: 3d class in Rut. and Tsakh. Ag. > Darg. Chir. qIunṭ 'snot'. It is not quite clear whether Bud. χiṭ 'saliva' should be also related to this root. See Лексика 1971, 125.
