North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *GwĭnGwV / *qwĭnqwV
Meaning: pigeon
Notes: An onomatopoeic root (like many other birdnames), which explains the presence of phonetic variants (voiceless *qw is reflected in PWC, voiced *Gw - in PA and PL; PN *q may reflect both variants). Cf. Abdokov 1983, 121. Similar onomatopoeic roots are attested in other languages (cf., e.g., PK *ʁuʁun- 'to coo').
