Russian meaning[s]: 1) обезглавить; казнить; отрубить; отрезать; 2) прекратить, оборвать; 3) разом, вместе; все как один; 4) см. 嶄
Comments: The MC reading would rather point to *ćrēmʔ; however, both xiesheng and rhymes point to *ćrāmʔ with irregular MC development. Viet. chém is colloquial; regular Sino-Viet. is tra`m.

Proto-North Caucasian: *=ič̣wĔn ( ~ -ä-)
Meaning: to cleave, cut, incise

Avar-Andian etymology :

Protoform: *č̣ʷVn-
Meaning: 1 to flay,strip 3 to cleave
Akhvakh: č̣ʷab- 2
Chamalal: č̣un-al- 3
Comments: The Akhv. form is probably denasalized < *č̣ʷam- < *č̣ʷan-. It is necessary to keep this root (with labialised *č̣ʷ) apart from PA *=ič̣- / *č̣in- 'to kill; break, split' q.v., although they are close semantically and phonetically and could have partially merged in some languages (it concerns, in particular, the Av. form č̣ʷa- 'to kill' which is probably a contamination of these two roots).

Abkhaz-Adyghe etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-West-Caucasian: *(Pǝ)č̣́V
Meaning: to cut, to incise
Adyghe: wǝ-ṗč̣́a-ta-n
Kabardian: wǝ-ṗṣ́a-ta-n
Ubykh: q́ǝ-č̣́-
Comments: PAK *wǝ-ṗč̣́a-ta-; there are also other compounds like *pǝ-wǝ-ṗč̣́ǝ- (Ad. pǝwǝṗč̣́ǝ-n, Kab. pǝwǝṗṣ́ǝ-n) 'to cut off'. Ub. a-s-q̇ǝ-č̣́ǝ́-n (q̇ǝ- < q̇a-, preverb meaning 'hand'). Despite Shagirov 2, 53 PAK *ṗč̣́a-/ *ṗč̣́ǝ- 'to cut, incise' should be kept apart from the homonymous *ṗč̣́a- 'to weed', which has its own etymology (q.v.). We should note that the semantic development 'to cut' > 'to weed', proposed by Shagirov, is highly unlikely (the basic idea of weeding is doing it by hand, not by knife or any other instrument).
