North Caucasian etymology :

Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *ɦămƛ̣ă
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: sweat
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *hamƛ̣o
Proto-Lak: č̣anaḳ
Proto-Dargwa: *maɣa
Proto-Lezghian: *hIamƛ̣(a)
Proto-West Caucasian: *pǝƛ̣a
Notes: The PD forms demonstrates an aberration: the reflex of a "tense" *ƛ̣ (PD *ɣ); otherwise all correspondences are regular. The Lak. form is reduplicated (č̣anaḳ < *ḳanaḳ); the PWC form has a frequent prefixed *p- - possibly, a remnant of a class prefix.

Abkhaz-Adyghe etymology :

Search within this database
Proto-West-Caucasian: *pǝƛ̣a (~-ǝ̃-)
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: sweat
Abkhaz: a-pχ-ʒǝ́
Abaza: pχ-ʒǝ
Adyghe: ṗč̣́ā-nṭ
Kabardian: ṗṣ́ā-nṭa-ps
Comments: PAT *pǝxǝ-ʒǝ (cf. also Bzyb. a-pxʒǝ́) : a compound with *ʒǝ 'water' in the second part.

    PAK *ṗč̣́a-n-ṭa- 'sweat, to sweat' (used also as a verb in Ad. ṗč̣́anṭa-n, Kab. ṗṣ́anṭa-n 'to sweat') : a compound with *ṭa 'liquid' in the second part (see PWC *ṭV). In Kab. we have a further compound with -ps(ǝ) 'water' (in Ad. there also exists a corresponding form ṗč̣́anṭa-ps).

    The correspondence PAT *-x- (before affricate) : PAK *č̣́ is unambiguosly pointing to PWC *ƛ̣. Since there is no Ub. reflex, it is also possible to reconstruct nasalisation in PWC.

    The etymology of the PAK form proposed by Shagirov (1977, 2, 53: "to weed" + "to dig") is absolutely unacceptable.
