North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *Ł_ēmV
Meaning: bridge
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Some languages (some Darg. dialects, Khin.) reflect suffixed forms (with *-bV and *-dV, originally probably plural or collective). See Trubetzkoy 1922, 242 (with some confusion of *Ł_ēmV and *ƛ̣_ǝrHV q.v.). The same confusion is present in Abdokov 1983, 128, who also tries to compare PAK *ʎamǝ́ǯǝ 'bridge'. However, the morphological structure of the Adygh form is not clear (see Shagirov 1, 250), and the correspondence EC *Ł_ : WC *ʎ is irregular, so this comparison should be rejected.

Nakh etymology :

Proto-Nakh: *lāmV-j
Meaning: stairs, ladder
Chechen: lāmi
Ingush: lɔmi
Comments: 6th class in both languages. The Bacb. word for 'stairs, ladder' is laṗ; historically it is rather a reflection of PN *laṗa 'shed, penthouse' (q.v.) with a semantic contamination of two roots in Bacb.
