Abkhaz-Adyghe etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-West-Caucasian: *ʁʷa
Meaning: 1 to seem 2 to think, suppose
Abaza: ʕʷa-rá 1
Adyghe: gʷǝ-ʁa-n 2
Kabardian: gʷǝ-ʁa-n 2
Ubykh: ʁʷa- 2
Comments: Ub. a-z-ʁʷá-n. The Abaz. verb is used in expressions like sgʷǝ ʕʷ-iṭ "it seems to me" (lit. "my heart thinks"). The PAK form *gʷǝ-ʁa- has a delabialised *ʁ as a result of contamination with another PWC stem, *ǵʷǝ-Ga- 'to hope' q.v. (PAK *gʷǝ-ʁa- means both 'to think, suppose' and 'to hope'). See Shagirov 1, 115.
