Proto-Basque: *śeldo-r̄
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: fagot, load of wood
Bizkaian: sendor
Lapurdian: seldor
Comments: The LAB word is more precisely defined as "haz ó pila de leña para hacer carbón / meule de bois qu'on transforme en charbon." The connection with funeral practices (cf. Dargi *c̣elt:a 'tombstone') is given by Tovar (1961): "[Iberian] <<s-e-l-da-r>> on several tombstones corresponds very well to the Basque <<seldor>> ... as the Iberians burned their dead." Cf. Bsq *sendo-r̄: These words have apparently contaminated or merged.
