Proto-Nakh: *c̣on-
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: a k. of bush
Chechen: c̣una dečig
Ingush: c̣on
Comments: It is not quite clear, what kind of bush is meant. In the Ing.-Chech.-Russ. dictionary both words are glossed as 'a k. of bush'; in the Chech.-Russ. dictionary (where the form is c̣ulla dečig, probably < *c̣un-la; dečig = 'wood, tree') the gloss is 'a k. of bush with hard wood'.
