Proto-North Caucasian: *HVns_́V
Meaning: small
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. In Bezht., Lak. and Khin. n- and m- probably go back to class markers, nasalised due to the influence of the lost Inlaut nasal. In Lak. -r- is either a trace of this nasal, or rather a former adjectival suffix (muIrš:i- < *muIš:(V)-rV-). The PEC vocalism is hard to reconstruct.

Proto-Tsezian: *nuš:-
Meaning: small
Bezhta: nüšijö (Khosh.)
Comments: If Gunz. ĩše 'few, little' is related, we could reconstruct *ʔ[ĩ]š:- for PGB (with secondary metathesis of nasalisation in Bezht.); but the vowel correspondences are not clear.
