North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *χʕāmV
Meaning: skin, cloth
Notes: The PWC form has a rare dental prefix *t- (*d-) which must have caused a not quite regular development *t-χ:- > *t-q:- (in PEC the initial consonant is certainly a fricative). Cf. Kartv. *qaml- 'skin (of a sheep, goat)' (see Klimov 1963, 263, listing also the Abkh. form).

Proto-West-Caucasian: *t-q:amǝ
Meaning: 1 skin, fur 2 fur-coat
Abkhaz: a-χamǝ́ 2
Abaza: qamǝ 2
Ubykh: tχamǝ́ 1
Comments: PAT *qamǝ (cf. also Bzyb. a-χamǝ́). Ub. has tχ- because the cluster tq- ( < *tq:-) is prohibited in Ub.; PWC *q:- is reconstructed on basis of PAT *q- (a weak *q- would give PAT *ħ-).
