North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *=ixA
Meaning: to reap
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *=iʎ- Proto-West Caucasian: *xǝ Notes: A very secure (both phonetically and semantically) common NC cultural term. See Абдоков 1983, 179. The alternative comparison (Balkarov 1964, 99) of the WC forms with Av. q:ʷ-, PA *χ:an- (note that Av. and PA are actually different roots) 'to mow' is untenable for phonetic reasons (the PWC velar can not correspond to a PEC uvular).

Dargwa etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Dargwa: *=irx-
Meaning: to reap
Akusha: =irš-es
Chiragh: =irx:-
Comments: Cf. also Ur. =irš- id. In PD we must reckon with a contamination of *=ix- 'to reap' (originally without -r- and with a weak -x-) and *mirx: 'sickle' (q.v.). The reflex -š- in Ak. and Ur. clearly points to a weak *-x-, thus the Chirag -x:- is obviously secondary (under influence of mirx: 'sickle'). Cf. also another Chir. derivate: arx:la 'a crooked sickle'.

Abkhaz-Adyghe etymology :

Proto-West-Caucasian: *xǝ
Meaning: to reap, mow
Abkhaz: a-χ-rá
Abaza: χ-ra
Adyghe: xǝ-n
Kabardian: xǝ-n
Ubykh: š́ǝ-
Comments: PAT *xǝ (cf. also Bzyb. a-x-rá); PAK *xǝ- (trans.), *xa- (intrans.: Ad., Kab. xa-n); Ub. sing. a-s-š́ǝ́-n. The same root was used in PWC with the meaning 'saw, to saw', cf. PAT *xǝ- (Abkh. a-χ-rá, Abaz. ʕʷǝ-χ-ra 'to saw'), PAK *pǝ-xǝ- 'to saw' (Ad., Kab. pǝxǝ-), *pχá-xǝ 'saw' (Ad., Kab. pχax; *pχa 'tree, wood'), Ub. sǝ-š́ǝ́ 'saw' (sǝ 'wood'). Despite Yakovlev 1941, 209-210, there is absolutely no connection with PAK *-xǝ- 'to take'. See Shagirov 2, 105, 40 (but PAK *pǝxǝ- 'to saw' should be distinguished from the homonymous *pǝxǝ- 'to take off (from the front of smth.)', which has a quite different WC etymology).
