Proto-North Caucasian: *k_[ī]śwV
Meaning: scythe (or a similar cutting tool)
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The root must have denoted some scythe-like tool for mowing grass. It also denotes the process of mowing (in PTs), and the result of mowing (stripe of mown grass) in PN. The vocalic reconstruction is not quite certain, because of variation in PTs and insufficiency of data in other subgroups.
