North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *ʔwăχ_wV
Meaning: bottom, lower part; behind
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *=iχV Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The root has no class prefixes in PN, and their traces in PTs are probably secondary (initial *ʔw reinterpreted as the animated class marker). Medial *-χ- in PTs is not quite regular (we would rather expect -χ:- or -ʁ:-): this is possibly due to contamination with another EC root, *ʡĭnGwV̆ 'heel, back' (q.v.). The root is sometimes hard to distinguish from *-ǝ̆χA 'below' (q.v.), but they are opposed at least in PN and PA and should be kept separate.

Nakh etymology :

Proto-Nakh: *ʔaħu
Meaning: 1 downwards 2 lower part
Chechen: oħa- 1
Ingush: ʕo- 1
Batsbi: aħo 2
Comments: Ing. ʕo- < *ʔoħ- with a secondary transfer of the emphatic laryngeal into Anlaut. In Chech. and Ing. the root is basically used as a preverb (it is also used as such in Bacb.); but cf. also Chech. oħara 'lower', oħanē '(place of) descent'.

Tsezian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Tsezian: *=eχV
Meaning: 1 bottom 2 knees
Tsezi: waħu 1 (Kid.)
Bezhta: beʁe 2
Comments: One of the roots with former class prefixes (w- in Tsez., b- in Bezht.); cf. also Bezht. Khosh., Tlad. beʁ 'groin'. The meaning 'knees, groin' is obviously secondary ( < *'lower part of body'). In Tsez. the word is also used as an adverb ('below'), and is sometimes provided with the locative ending -ƛ: waħ-ƛ > waIƛ. Probably the same root (with initial reduction) was used in PTsKh to denote 'behind': PTsKh *χ̥1̇[e]-zV- (Tsez. χizäz, Gin. hezo-); cf. an analogous reduction in PA *χi- > Tind. χe-ri 'behind'.
