Lezghian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Lezghian: *jiwʎ
Meaning: snow
Lezghian: žiw
Tabasaran: jif
Agul: ibx́
Comment: Cf. also Lezg. Khl. žiw, Tab. Düb., Ulz. jif, Ag. Bursh. jiš̌, Fit. ibx́, Burk. üx. Obl. base unclear. The Lezg. form is peculiar: it is metathesized (cf. an analagous metathesis in PN), and reflects rather tense *ʎ: or *ƛ: than *ʎ (Tab. and Ag. forms unambiguously point to a weak *ʎ in PL). This development is still to be explained.
