North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *jälʁA ( ~ -G-)
Meaning: a k. of tree
Proto-West Caucasian: *ʁa Notes: The comparison looks plausible, but is not very certain (because we do not know what particular tree is denoted by jilʁa in Chech., and because the only attested WC form - Abkh. ā - allows for several alternative PWC reconstructions).

Proto-Lezghian: *jelʁ ( ~ -ä-,-χ:)
Meaning: 1 rush-growth 2 thicket, growth

Comment: 3d class in Bud. The Bud. word may be borrowed from Lezg., but the Tab. and Lezg. forms are no doubt genuinely related and point to *jelʁ (~ -ä-,-χ:) in PL (in Tab. *jelʁ > *jirʁ > *jurʁ).
