North Caucasian etymology :

Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *ƛErV ( ~ -l-)
Meaning: river, rivulet
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *ƛir-s:o
Proto-Tsezian: *ʎ:eʎ:erV (~L(:),l)
Proto-West Caucasian: *ʎ́a-
Notes: An Av.-And.-Tsez.-WC isogloss. The etymology is possible, but not secure enough: the uncertainty is caused by problems of morphological analysis of Andian forms (unclear component -s:o(n)), Tsezian reduplication and the isolated character of the Shapsug form within WC (also with an etymologically unclear component -ħa).

Comments: Av. paradigm C (ʎará-l, ʎára-l; Chad. tará-l, tára-l). The Andian forms go back to a suffixed (or compound?) form *ƛir-s:o (some forms: And. ʎ:enso, God. ʎ:ins:a - to a variant *ƛir-s:on). The suffix (or compound) -s:o is etymologically not clear. Cf. also Akhv. Tseg., Tlan. ʎes:a, Ratl. ƛers:a, Cham. Gig. ʎes:a, Bagv. Tlis. hes:a. Tense ʎ:- in And., Bagv. and God. is secondary (assimilated to -s:-).
