Sino-Caucasian etymology : List with all references

Notes: A widely spread common NC root. In PL and PAand. the root has a class prefix *w- (in PAand. it has replaced the original r-: we would expect in PA *rišo- as a regular reflex of the structure *HRVCV̆); we should stress that in PD and Lak. initial d- and t:- are not class prefixes, but regular protheses in this phonetic structure.

[Gunz., Bezht. č̣iṭ 'hundred' is a curious case. It is obviously the result of folk-etymological analysis of Avar nus 'hundred' as 'knife' (in Avar there exists a homonymous nus 'knife' - of course, quite different etymologically). Since the Gunzib/Bezhta word for 'knife' is č̣iṭ, it obtained the additional meaning 'hundred' under Avar influence.]
