North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *=īχwA
Meaning: to ask, speak; to search
Proto-West Caucasian: *χʷa Notes: The root is sometimes difficult to distinguish from a similar root with *-qw- (see *HreqwĂr), because *qw and *χw have merged in PL and PWC, which could have resulted in a complete or partial merger of the roots. See Абдоков 1983, 177-178, 184.

Nakh etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Nakh: *=ēχ-
Meaning: to ask
Chechen: =ēχ-
Ingush: =eχ-
Batsbi: =eχ-
Comments: The root is obviously connected with two other PN verbal stems: *l-aχ- (term.) / *l-ēχ- (dur.) 'to search' (Chech. laχ- / lēχ-, Ing., Bacb. laχ- / leχ-) and *b-āχ- 'to speak, talk, tell' (Chech. bāχ-).

Lezghian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Lezghian: *ʔiχʷa
Meaning: 1 to speak 2 to read 3 to sing
Tabasaran: u=χ- 2
Agul: wa-χʷa- 1 (Bursh.)
Kryz: uχ- 1,2
Budukh: s-uχ- 1,2
Archi: χa-(bus) 3
Comment: In Ag. Rich. we have ruχ- 'to read', in Lezg. raχa- 'to speak': r- in these forms is a result of merging two roots (PL *ʔiχʷa 'speak, read' and PL *räχʷa(r) 'to sound, resound', opposed in Ag. Bursh.: wa-χʷa- 'speak' vs. ruχa- 'howl, wail; read'). See Хайдаков 1973, 145.

Abaza: ħʷa-ra 1
Adyghe: ʎǝ-χʷǝ-n 2

Comments: PAT *ħʷa (with accent variation in Abkh.); PAK *ʎǝ-χʷǝ- / *ʎǝ-χʷa- (on the distribution of the two forms and the preverbial nature of *ʎǝ- see Shagirov 1,256); Ub. sǝ-χʷá-n (Shagirov ibid. compares Ub. χʷá-č́a- / χʷa-č́á- 'to search' - which obviously contains the same root). In Adygh cf. also *χʷa-psa- 'to envy' ("ask" + "soul") > Ad., Kab. χʷa-psa-.
