Sino-Caucasian etymology :

Proto-Sino-Caucasian: *bṓnʒV

Meaning: a k. of vessel

North Caucasian: *bōnʒ_(w)V

Sino-Tibetan: *pān (~ b-)

Basque: *onci

Comments and references : BDC 7.

North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *bōnʒ_(w)V

Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology

Meaning: a k. of vessel

Proto-Nakh: *baṭṭV-m ( ~ ā,tt)

Proto-Avaro-Andian: *mic̣:ʷi / *c̣:ʷimi

Proto-Lezghian: *(mo)c̣:ʷir

Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Not very reliable, because of the strange behaviour of the stem in Lezghian languages; besides, labialised -ʒw- should not have yielded -ṭṭ- in a cluster in PN. Contaminations of originally different roots may be the reason (see above).

Nakh etymology :

Proto-Nakh: *baṭṭV-m ( ~ ā,tt)

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: a brass jar for water

Chechen: battam

Comments: Attested only in Chech., but having probable external parallels.

Avar-Andian etymology :

Protoform: *mic̣:ʷi / *c̣:ʷimi

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: jar, pot

Akhvakh: c̣:uni / c̣:ũ

Karata: muc̣:i (Tok.)

Comments: In Akhv. a variant c̣:ʷani is also attested. In fact, the variant c̣:uni may reflect another PA root (see *c̣:umV- 'pointed'), because the MSU records give for this word a meaning 'spout of a jar' (not 'jar').

Lezghian etymology :

Proto-Lezghian: *(mo)c̣:ʷir

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: spoon

Lezghian: ṭur

Tabasaran: muč:̌ur

Agul: t:ur

Rutul: dur

Kryz: tɨr

Budukh: tur

Comment: 3d class in all class-distinguishing languages. Cf. also Lezg. Khl. t:ur. External parallels make us believe that the Tab. form is the most archaic (muč:̌ur < *moc̣:ʷi-r with -r originally as a suffix); but reasons for loss of *mo- in all other languages are unclear (such a loss is regular only for Lezg.). We may deal here with a secondary contamination with a quite different EC root, reflected in Bezht. c̣oro 'scoop', Cham. č̣ora 'mug'. See Талибов 1980, 264.
