North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *gimʔɨ̄ ( ~ -ū)
Meaning: popular assembly (godeḳan)
Notes: The root denotes (in all languages) the traditional popular assembly, as well as the place for it (usually an open place in the middle of the village). Reconstructed for the PEC level, but spread only in the Eastern Dagestan area. The Lak. form contains a prefix da- ( < *ra-). The initial part (go-) of the Avar word godéḳan could be somehow related; but this can not be asserted, unless we know the meaning of the second component (-deḳan).

Proto-Lezghian: *k:im
Meaning: 1 godeḳan 2 tower
Lezghian: k:im 1
Tabasaran: gim 1
Agul: gim 2
Rutul: gim 1
Tsakhur: gim 1 (Mishl.)
Kryz: gan-gah 1
Budukh: gin-ǵa 1
Udi: gim-gä 1
Comment: 3d class in all class-distinguishing languages. Obl. base *k:imɨ- (Lezg. k:imi-, Tab., Ag. gimi-, Rut. gima-, Tsakh. Mishl. gimɨ-). The Shakhdagh and Udi languages (cf. also Tsakh. proper gim-ga) possibly reflect a compound with Pers. gah 'place' as the second part (in this case the form *gimgah had spread from one of these languages into others rather recently). See Хайдаков 1973, 80.
