North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *mŏwχē
Meaning: wool, (woollen) thread
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. In PTs the medial -w- probably was lost rather early (otherwise we should expect *-χ- in cluster with a previous resonant); otherwise correspondences are quite regular (Lak. huru regularly < *muhuru with loss of the initial *mV-). The root is often accompanied by *-rV (in PN, Lak., PL) which must be here a former plural suffix.
