Avar-Andian etymology :
Search within this database
Protoform: *čorʁandi / -ṭi
Meaning: magpie
Avar: čárʁedo
Andian language: čordiʁanni
Akhvakh: čãʁadi
Comments: In most languages and dialects this long expressive stem was reinterpreted as a compound with *ʁandi 'crow' in the second part; in Av. the word čár-ʁedo means literally 'variegated crow' (cf. also an old Inkh. loan from Andian: ačirʁade 'magpie'). However, Khaidakov notes an And. dialectal form čarʁiṭ which obviously can not be explained in this way; external parallels also show that the influence of *ʁandi is here secondary.
