Protoform: *himƛ̣u
Meaning: bottom
Avar: ṭínu
Chadakolob: ṭínu
Andian language: hilmu
Akhvakh: miƛ̣i-do
Chamalal: hilʷ
Tindi: hinlu
Karata: himʔu (Tok.)
Bagvalal: hilʷ
Godoberi: hinlu
Comments: Av. paradigm C (ṭiná-lzul, ṭína-bi; but Chad. A: gen. ṭínu-l). Cf. also Av. Gid. (Gudava) ƛ̣ino, And. (Gudava) hinƛ̣u, Akhv. Ratl. miƛ̣o, Tseg., Tlan. miṭu (the North. form miƛ̣ido is originally locative), Cham. Gig. hinnu, God. Zib. hilmu. Akhv. miƛ̣o is an obvious metathesis < *ʔimƛ̣o; in Av. one would rather expect *ʔinṭu (or *niṭu); the form ṭinu is a result of metathesis (or an exceptional preservation of the archaic consonant order).

Abkhaz-Adyghe etymology :

Proto-West-Caucasian: *ƛ̣V
Meaning: 1 bottom, lower part 2 under (preverb)
Abkhaz: á-c̣a 1
Abaza: c̣-ʕʷa 1
Adyghe: č̣́a- 2
Kabardian: ṣ́a- 2
Ubykh: -ć̣a 1
Comments: PAT *c̣V (cf. also Bzyb. á-c̣ 'bottom); PAK *č̣́a-; in Ub. the morpheme is used in compounds: ba-ć̣á 'lower part', ša-ć̣á 'pillow' (ša 'head'). The correspondence PAK *č̣́ : PAT *c̣ : Ub. ć̣ points to the PWC lateral *ƛ̣. In PAK, however, there exists also a separate root *č̣a 'bottom' (Ad. č̣a, Kab. ṣ́a) - which can reflect a variant with labialisation *ƛ̣ʷV (perhaps reflecting an early PWC metathesised variant *Hnŏƛ̣ŭ).
