Lezghian etymology :

Search within this database
Proto-Lezghian: *ʔeʎ(:)ʷVr-
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: 1 to burn 2 to get heated 3 warm 4 to boil
Lezghian: ife- 2
Tabasaran: k-a=x- (Düb.)
Agul: k-ejxi- (Bursh.)
Rutul: u=xʷa- 1
Tsakhur: k-o=xar- 4
Budukh: fe-ji 3
Comment: Cf. also Ag. Bursh. k-ejxi- 'to burn'. The Tsakh. form poses some problems. In the Tsakh. dialect Talibov has noted only q-o-xan- 'boil' which obviously must belong to another root (see *ʔVrʎ:an). However, in the Mikik dialect both k-o=xar- 'boil' and ǵ-o=x:an- 'burn (intr.)' had been written down - with seemingly reversed semantics. This is either a result of interdialectal mixture or faulty notice.

    There is a great deal of confusion in the Tsakh. recordings as to the tenseness of -x- (-x:-) in this root, thus the PL reconstruction (*-ʎʷ- or *-ʎ:ʷ-) is not clear in this point.

Bezhta: ʎij- (Tlad.)

Lak root: š:a-ra-
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: to boil, seethe
Lak form: š:a-ra-n
Comments: A durative stem (cf. Khosr. š:ara-n id.). Several forms are reduplicated: cf. imper. š:araš:u, as well as the noun š:araš:i 'spring, source', š:araš:i dan 'to boil (trans.)'. The latter form was probably borrowed (with some distortions) into Archi: haIrš-bos (dur. haIrš:ar) 'to boil'.

Abkhaz-Adyghe etymology :

Search within this database
Proto-West-Caucasian: *ʎ́ʷV
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: 1 to boil 2 warm
Abkhaz: a-š-rá 1
Abaza: š-ra 1
Adyghe: fā-ba 2
Kabardian: xʷā-ba 2
Ubykh: šʷa-dá- 1
Comments: PAT *šǝ; PAK *xʷa-bá. Shagirov (2,106) takes from Ubykh another root: š́a- 'to be hot'. However, Ub. š́ can not correspond to PAK *xʷ, while Ub. šʷa-dá- is a perfect match for both AA and AK forms.

    It is probable that Ub. š́a- 'be hot' goes back to another PWC root, *š́V (*š:́V) which is not reflected in PAK, but in PAT merged with *šǝ < *ʎ́ʷA. This seems probable because the Abkh. root means both 'boil' and 'become hot'.
