North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *ʡīlχU (~-ǟ-,-ɨ̄-)
Meaning: sheep, lamb
Proto-West Caucasian: *χʷǝ Notes: Quality of the initial laryngeal is reconstructed tentatively (PN and PA do not provide the best evidence). *-l- (and not *-n-) is reconstructed on PA evidence ( - in case of the nasal *-n- we would expect strong *-χ:- in PA). The comparison seems to be reliable both phonetically and semantically.

Abkhaz-Adyghe etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-West-Caucasian: *χʷǝ
Meaning: sheep
Adyghe: χʷǝ-
Kabardian: χʷǝ-
Comments: Attested only within compounds: PAK *χʷǝ-bŁa 'sheep' (q.v.), *χʷǝ-rǝ́-sʷa 'sheepskin' (Ad. χʷǝrǝś̌, Kab. χʷǝrǝfa). Cf. also Kab. χʷǝreṭ 'an exclamation for urging sheep'. The verbal root *χʷǝ 'to graze, breed' (despite Shagirov 2) is to be kept apart. Since only the PAK form is attested, for PWC *χʷ, *χ́ʷ or *χIʷ can be reconstructed.
