Avar-Andian etymology :

Search within this database
Protoform: *ƛ̣ir(H)V
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: sour cream
Avar: ṭórax
Chadakolob: ṭoráx
Andian language: lel
Comments: Cf. also And. (Khaidakov) lʔel (pointing to *ƛ̣-);-l is obviously a result of assimilation ( < *-r). The Av. form may be analysed as "top" (ṭo-, cf. ṭa- 'up, above' q.v.) + rax "milk"; this is probably a folk etymology (which had, however, influenced the expected form *ṭor or *ṭora by adding a secondary -x).
