North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *bārʒV
Meaning: height, mountain
Proto-Nakh: *b(ɦ)ārʒ
Proto-Tsezian: *bɨZu (~-s-)
Proto-Lak: barzunt:iw
Proto-Lezghian: *barzaj
Notes: The word is ultimately probably of Iranian origin (cf. especially the Lak. form), but may have been borrowed at a rather early (PEC?) stage. However, the PTs form can belong to another EC root (see *wɨse), which would make the PEC reconstruction of *bārʒV less reliable.
