Proto-Afro-Asiatic: *ga/ic̣-
Meaning: face
Notes: Not quite reliable. The Eth. and Agaw forms may be mutual loans. That Iraqw -c̣ continues Afras. *-c̣ is plausible but not proved. The CCh. form is semantically questionable. Cf. *gʷa(n/h)ĉ̣- 'cheek, chin', *gaṭ- 'cheek, chin, beard', *gʷaʒ- 'cheek, chin, beard'.
