Tsezian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Tsezian: *ʕɔm(V)-q̇V
Meaning: ass
Tsezi: ʕomoj
Ginukh: omoq̇i
Khvarshi: omoq̇e
Inkhokvari: omoq̇Ie
Bezhta: ãʔũ (Khosh.)
Comments: PTsKh *ʕomoq̇e. The Bezht. form can be related here if it goes back to PGB *ʔɔ̃q̇u ( < *ʔɔm-q̇u). The component *-q̇V in the PTs form is not clear etymologically. There also could have existed a PTs variant *ʕɨmVrV ( = PL *ʡimal), reflected (with a productive suffix *-ṭu) in PGB *ʔɨrmV-ṭu (Bezht. irmaṭo, Gunz. ɨrmǝṭu) 'ass'.

North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *ɦimV
Meaning: ass, donkey
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *hamV Notes: The pure root is reflected only in Av. and some Andian languages. All other languages reflect either a derivate (with a productive suffix *-lV), or some old compounds with unclear second components (PC *-q̇V, PA *-(ro)χi, PD *-χa). Correspondences of the first part are quite regular (note the specific development *ha- in PA and *ʕɔ- in PC - reflecting a secondary labialisation *ɦʷimV- < *ɦimV-), and it seems worth reconstructing for PEC. We must note the resemblance of PEC *ɦimV with Semitic (cf., e.g., Arab. ħimār 'ass, donkey'). The Arabic form was probably directly borrowed only in one language (cf. Kar. Tok. ħamar which stands apart from all other Andian forms), but it may be an old Wanderwort common to both East Caucasian and Semitic languages.

Avar-Andian etymology :

Protoform: *hamV
Meaning: ass
Avar: ħamá
Chadakolob: ħamá
Andian language: hamoroχi
Akhvakh: imiχi
Chamalal: amaχ
Tindi: amaχa
Karata: ʕama
Bagvalal: ʕami
Godoberi: hamaχi
Comments: Av. paradigm B (ħamí-l, ħamú-l; but Chad. C: ħimí-l, ħúmi-l). Cf. also Kar. Anch. amaχ, Cham. Gig. hamaχi. Most of the Andian forms reflect a compound *hamV-roχi (in some cases, with reduction, *hamVχi) with an unclear second component (cf.,perhaps, Darg. emħe-ruq 'mule'?).

Dargwa etymology :

Proto-Dargwa: *Hemχa
Meaning: ass
Akusha: emħe
Chiragh: amχa
Comments: The initial laryngeal gives not quite regular reflexes, and is hard to reconstruct precisely; but it must have conditioned the pharyngealization (*χ > ħ) of the uvular fricative in most dialects, cf. also Ur. ħamħa, Kad. ʕemħa, Kharb. ħemħe etc.

Lezghian etymology :

Proto-Lezghian: *ʡimala / *ʡilama
Meaning: ass
Lezghian: lam
Rutul: jimäl
Tsakhur: aImale
Kryz: lem
Budukh: lem
Udi: elem
Comment: Cf. also Lezg. Khl. lem, Tsakh. Gelm. aImalä. 3d class in all class-distinguishing languages. Since the metathesis *ʡimala > *ʡilama is specific for Lezghian languages and has occurred in Shakhdagh, it is most probable that Khin. hilam 'ass' is an old Shakhdagh loan (before the secondary reduction of the initial weak syllable).
