Meaning: 1 mountain 2 cavern
Adyghe: q:ʷǝ-śħa 1
Kabardian: *q:ʷǝ-śħa 2
Ubykh: q̇Iʷa 2
Comments: PAK *q:ʷǝ-śħá (the second component is *śħa 'head'); in Kab. the word is preserved only as an ethnonym ('Balkarian' or 'Ossetian') or in toponyms (see Шагиров 1, 236). Despite Shagirov (ibid.) and Gan 1909, 68 the first component q:ʷǝ- should be kept apart from PAK *q:ʷa 'gorge, ravine, valley' - the latter has a separate Ub. parallel, see *q:ʷa.
