Meaning: (part or bone of the) leg of animal
Akkadian: gudgudātu (pl. of redupl. stem) 'part of the lower leg of a quadruped' MA [CAD g 119]. Translated as 'Seitenzehe v Tieren?' in [AHw 295]
Geʕez (Ethiopian): ʔagadā 'thighbone, shinbone, tibia, leg, large bone of the leg, shoulder of animal' [LGz 11]
Tigre: gǝdet 'a piece of meat (severed from the bone); shoulder-blade' [LH 602]
Amharic: agäda 'leg (of a man), hind leg (of a cow), bone of the upper arm or the shin bone' [K 1331]; agʷäda 'hoof, foot' [ibid.]. Cf. gǝd 'name of a cut of meat, filet; jawbone' [ibid. 2035] (cf. the same meaning in TGR)
Gafat: agat 'bras' [LGaf 173]
Gurage: ENN END agad, CHA EŽA GYE MUH MAS GOG SOD agat 'arm above the elbow, shoulder, shoulder blade' [LGur 28]. According to Leslau [ibid. 24], agad represents agat which is a Cushitism [ibid. 28]; at least the first assertion is incorrect (see AMH -d-)
Notes: Otherwise *gʷad-at-. Only AKK (redupl.) and ETH supported, however, by AFRASIAN data (above).
Note that all ETH forms except TGR take ʔa-prefix corresponding to *ʔa- prefix in part of AFRASIAN forms.
Cf. ETH forms with suffixed -n, likely related with a meaning shift: TNA gʷǝdǝni 'costato, fianco, costola' [Bass 884], AMH gʷädǝn 'side, flank, rib' [K 2046], EAST: ZWY godǝn, GUR: GOG gʷädin, GOG SOD godin 'rib' [LGur 264]
