Meaning: 1 tree 2 suffix on tree names 3 wild tree
Bizkaian: (Markina, Txorierri) zu-gatz 3
Gipuzkoan: (Bidania, Usurbil) zu-gaitz 3, (Andoain) zu-aitz 1

Comments: ZBR -haintze probably blended with *-hamu (q.v.). Cf. the similar, but originally distinct, *haraic 'oak'. A reduced form *(h)es- appears in some words: see Bsq *es-pel 'box (tree)', *(h)es-kur̄ 'acorn'.

North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *Hă(r)ǯwī (~ -ē)
Meaning: a k. of tree
Notes: Originally it was probably a name of some coniferous tree, cf. also Hurr. ažu(-ɣǝ) 'fir-tree' ( > Akkad. ašūχu, see Diakonoff-Starostin 1986, 41); the meaning 'birch-tree' in some And. languagesis secondary. The medial resonant is not reflected directly, but it must be postulated to explain spirantisation in PTs.

Abkhaz-Adyghe etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-West-Caucasian: *č:́ʷǝ
Meaning: tree
Adyghe: čǝ-ɣǝ
Kabardian: žǝ-ɣ
Comments: PAK *č:ǝ́-ɣǝ 'tree'. Shagirov (1, 196) is certainly right in treating the component -ɣǝ as 'seed' (see *Ł́A) and establishing the original meaning of the compound as "acorn". Cf. also PAK *č:ǝ-ɣa-jǝ "oak-tree" (Ad. čǝɣāj, Kab. žǝɣej). However, the root *č:ǝ can not be related to Abkh. a-ǯ́ 'oak-tree' for phonetic reasons; the latter is rather connected with PAK *pč:́V 'plane-tree' q.v.
