North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *bHǝrχV
Meaning: back, shoulder-blade
Notes: Reconstructed for PEC. Some problems are raised by *m- in PL (Tab.): possibly, Tab. marχIli-n is a modification of *marχIni-n < PL *marχIVn ? In this case the *m- could be a result of nasal assimilation (cf. the PA form *biχumV with a nasal suffix).
