Tsezian etymology :

Proto-Tsezian: *ƛ̣õ A
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: roof
Tsezi: ƛ̣u
Ginukh: ƛ̣u
Khvarshi: ƛ̣ũ
Inkhokvari: ƛ̣ũ
Bezhta: ƛ̣ama (Tlad.)
Gunzib: ƛ̣ɔme (Gunz.)
Comments: PTsKh *ƛ̣ũ; PGB *ƛ̣ɔmV (cf. also Bezht. Khosh. ƛ̣amo). Gunz. (Bokarev) ƛ̣ame 'roof' is obviously a misspelling instead of ƛ̣ɔme. The PTs paradigm must be reconstructed as *ƛ̣õ, *ƛ̣ɔmV- (with the oblique base preserved as direct in PGB; Tsez. ƛ̣imi 'stone for fastening the roof' is also possibly derivable from this stem).

Protoform: *ƛ̣omV
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: 1 skin 2 roof
Avar: ṭom 1
Chadakolob: ṭom 1
Andian language: ƛ̣om / lom 2
Akhvakh: ƛ̣ami / ƛ̣ō̃ 2
Chamalal: am 2
Tindi: ami 2
Karata: ƛ̣ame 2
Botlikh: am 2
Bagvalal: ama 2
Godoberi: lam 2
Comments: Av. paradigm C (ṭomó-l, ṭóma-l). The root means both 'roof' and 'skin' in several languages: in Av. cf. Chad. ṭom, Gid. ƛ̣om, Ants. ƛ̣om / ṭom 'roof'; in Akhv. cf. N.-Akhv. ƛ̣ami 'roof', Tlan. ṭama 'skin', Ratl. ƛ̣ami 'roof; skin'. Cf. also Bagv. Kvan. ḳ́ama, Cham. Gig. am, Gad. nabu ( < *ƛ̣am-bu), Kar. Tok. amʔi. There is certainly no reason to separate forms meaning 'roof' from those meaning 'skin' ('roof of body').
