Proto-North Caucasian: *bi_čē (~-ä-,-ɨ̄)
Meaning: moral experience; god
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *biš:i

Notes: An interesting Lak.-Av. isogloss. Precise meaning is hard to reconstruct, but the root probably denoted some kind of moral or supernatural experience: cf. also likely parallels in HU: Hurr. piʒ-, Urart. pic̣- 'to be glad, rejoice' (see Diakonoff-Starostin 1986, 17).
