North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *ʎwɨ̆ʔwV
Meaning: millet
Proto-West Caucasian: *ʎʷǝ Notes: A significant common NC cultural term. Correspondences are quite regular (except that in Lak we have to suppose a delabialisation *ʎwɨ̆ʔwV > *ʎɨ̆wV > *xawa > šʷa [with reduction]). See Abdokov 1983, 112 (Lezg. : WC; the author, however, cites also some totally unrelated forms like Arch. iƛ, Av. roƛ: and Ud. šum).

Nakh etymology :

Proto-Nakh: *foʔ
Meaning: 1 grain 2 egg 3 grain forage
Chechen: hoʔa 2, hoʔ 3
Ingush: fuʔ 1,3
Batsbi: oʔ 1
Comments: The two words in Chech. are hard to separate, although words meaning "egg" belong to the 3d class, and words meaning "grain" - to the 6th class in Chech. and Ing. (in Ing. fuʔ "grain forage" vacillates between 5th and 6th classes, and in Bacb. oʔ "grain" belongs to the 5th class). The original meaning is pro- bably "grain, grain forage" (cf. the external evidence) with a secondary de- velopment of meaning "grain > egg". The Chech. form hoʔa is obviously a result of a secondary analogy with the obl. stem hoʔa- (Ing. fuʔo). The vowel -u- (instead of -o-) in Ing. (cf. also Chech. Cheb. huʔa, Pharch. huʔ "egg") is due to the strong labializing influence of initial *f-.

Abkhaz-Adyghe etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-West-Caucasian: *ʎʷǝ
Meaning: 1 millet 2 bread
Abkhaz: a-šǝ́ 1
Abaza: šǝ-r-ʒa 1
Adyghe: fǝ-ʁʷa 1
Kabardian: xʷǝ 1
Ubykh: sʷǝ́-bIa 2
Comments: PAT *šǝ (the Abaz. form goes back to a compound with PAT *ʒ́V 'grain', with the auxiliary linking morpheme -rǝ-, lit. 'millet grain'). PAK *xʷǝ (Ad. fǝ-ʁʷa means literally 'yellow millet'; cf. also Ad. fǝ-gʷ = Kab. xʷǝ-gʷ < *xʷǝ́-gʷǝ 'pounded millet'). In Ub. cf. also sʷǝ-pǝ́ 'flour' (the meaning of the second components -bIa, -pǝ is not quite clear). The correspondence PAT *š : PAK *xʷ : Ub. sʷ points unambiguosly to PWC *ʎʷ. All other comparison attempts within WC (PAK *xʷǝ : Ub. χʷa 'millet, grain' - see Mészáros 1934, 386; PAT *šǝ : PAK *mač́ǝ - see Shakryl 1968, 53, 98; PAK *xʷǝ : PAT *qʷǝ-ʒ́ǝ 'pounded millet' - see Rogava 1956, 121) are unacceptable and unnecessary. Ad. fǝgʷ > Osset. (Dig.) fagä 'pounded millet' (see Shagirov 2, 108).
