North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *gaʒā

Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. A cultural word with a simple phonetic structure, thus easily borrowed from one language into another. However, no external source for this word is known, and its EC origin is quite probable.

Avar-Andian etymology :

Protoform: *gaza
Meaning: hoe, mattock
Avar: gazá
Andian language: gaza
Chamalal: goza (Gig.)
Karata: gaza
Godoberi: ǵaza
Comments: Av. paradigm B (gozó-l, guz-bí). The vowel -o- in Cham. is not clear. Most Andian forms listed can be borrowed from Av. (but since correspondences are regular, it is hard to prove). The Av. form can also be the source of Lak. and Darg. dialectal forms with -z- (not -c:-): Lak. k:aza (existing together with k:ac:a), Darg. Chir. gaza etc.
