North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *ṭaHnā (~ -ǝ̄)
Meaning: nit
Proto-West Caucasian: *ṭa Notes: The type of laryngeal in the cluster -Hn- can not be established precisely, because in two critical cases (PD and PL) the root underwent an influence of *nĕmʒ_i 'louse' (PD *neṭ - cf. PD *nez 'louse'; PL *näṭ - cf. PL *näc̣: 'louse'). All other correspondences are regular, and the root can be safely reconstructed for PNC.

Andian language: ṭa

Lezghian etymology :

Proto-Lezghian: *näṭ / *ṭän (*ṭäH)
Meaning: nit
Lezghian: neṭ (Khl.)
Tabasaran: niṭ
Agul: neṭ
Rutul: näṭ
Tsakhur: naṭ
Archi: naṭ
Udi: t:e
Comment: Obl. base *näṭa- (cf. Tsakh. naṭa-) - but more frequent is the consonantal obl. base *näṭ-rV- (Lezg. neṭre-, Tab. niṭru-, Rut. näṭir-, Arch. neṭir-). 3d class in Rut. and Tsakh., but 4th class in Arch. The Udi form is the most archaic (preserving the original order of consonants, see below), but it is hard to establish the underlying PL form (both *ṭän and *ṭäH with some laryngeal are possible). See Лексика 1971, 151; Талибов 1980, 272.

Proto-West-Caucasian: *ṭa
Meaning: 1 louse 2 nit
Ubykh: ṭaḳ́ 1, ṭać̣ 2
Comments: The Ub. root ṭa- is isolated (ṭa-ḳ́ may be an old singulative form; about -ć̣ see *ć̣A - Ub. ṭa-, inspite Shagirov 2, 125, can have nothing to do with this root), but has rather probable EC parallels.
