Proto-North Caucasian: *s_wänʔV (~-ʡ-)
Meaning: lamb
Notes: The intermediate PEC form must be reconstructed as *s_ämʔV (~-ʡ-) with transfer of labialisation. In Darg. the form became metathesized (probably on analogy with *mac:a 'sheep' q.v.); otherwise the correspondences are quite regular. Relating the PAK root to Chech. žij 'sheep', ža 'sheep-flock' (Dzhanashia 1959) is inacceptable.

Lezghian etymology :

Proto-Lezghian: *s:äm (~s-)
Meaning: 1 lamb (after 6 months) 2 milch sheep
Lezghian: sam-ʁal 2
Tabasaran: sum-ag 1
Agul: sem
Kryz: säm 2
Comment: Cf. also Ag. Fit. sim. The Kryz. form has a more specific meaning: "a sheep or goat having once born a young one". The component -ʁal in Lezg. is not clear etymologically.In Tab. the form contains a diminutive -ag; the vowel in the 1st syllable is a result of reduction and assimilation to -m- already after suffixation (sum-ag < *sim-ag). There is not enough evidence to choose between *s:- or *s- in initial position, or to reconstruct the vocalic obl. base (there are only the Ag. forms: Burk. semu-, Fit. sima-).

Proto-West-Caucasian: *śʷǝ(na)
Meaning: lamb
Abkhaz: a-sǝ́-s
Abaza: sǝ-s
Adyghe: śǝna
Kabardian: śǝna
Comments: PAT *śǝ-śǝ (cf. also Bz. a-śǝ́ś), pl. *śa-ra (Abkh. a-sá-ra, Bz. a-śá-ra, Abaz. sa-ra); -śǝ is the common suffix for names of young animals. PAK *śǝná. External evidence suggests that -na is part of the root; reason for its loss in PAT is not quite clear. The correspondence PAT *ś : PAK *ś points unambiguously to PWC *śʷ.
