North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *šHătV
Meaning: spittle, saliva
Notes: A Nakh-Darg. isogloss. Obviously related to Osset. sät / sätä 'spittle, saliva' (cf. also Balk. šǝtǝ id.). If its Iranian etymology is correct (*spaɵa, see Abayev 1979, 92) - which, however, is somewhat dubious for phonetic and morphological reasons - we will have too acknowledge the Iranian origin of the gloss.

Nakh etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Nakh: *šato (/-ṭ-)
Meaning: 1 spittle 2 saliva
Chechen: šet
Ingush: šod
Batsbi: šatŏ
Comments: Chech. šet probably is a secondary building after the obl. base *šati- (Chech. šeta-). 4th class in all languages. In PN there are no clusters of *š- + laryngeals; it is not excluded that in this root such a cluster had existed (cf. the pharyngealization in the Darg. parallel), and influenced the reflex of medial *-t- in Ing. (where the form šod points to *šaṭo < *šHato?).

Basque etymology :

Proto-Basque: *i=śtu
Meaning: spittle, saliva
Gipuzkoan: istu
High Navarrese: iztu, ixtu
Comments: An expressive form that phonetically matches PEC *šHătV, with the usual syncope < *i=śutu, or the like. This and other similar forms (txistu, listu, lixtu, etc.) are the results of much cross-contamination and blending with Bsq *tu ‘to spit’, *lić ‘saliva’, etc.
