English meaning : to urinate, urine [Tang]
Russian meaning[s]: урина; моча; мочиться
Comments: Viet. t- is rather strange here, so Viet. tiê`u may be quite independent from the Chinese word. Another possible explanation of the Viet. word would be a contraction of the Chinese euphemism for 'urine, urinating' 小便 (MC sjéw-bjèn), see 小. For *n cf. Xiamen zio6, Chaozhou zie6 (reflecting an unattested variant MC *ńèw, OC *news), Fuzhou nieu6, Jianou niau6.

Proto-North Caucasian: *ɦnǝ̄rḳ_wV̄
Meaning: urine, urinary bladder
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The root is best preserved in the Western area; however, its remnant in PL (*nVḳʷV-) makes the common EC reconstruction very probable. The Khin. form ḳä is possibly a reduction of original *HVnḳä; a trace of nasalisation may be possibly observed in the obl. base ḳi-mi-. Some problems are raised by the cluster *-ṭq̇- in PN; perhaps *ħāṭq̇a is an originally suffixed form ( < *ħāḲ-dV with a former plural suffix).

Proto-Nakh: *ħāṭq̇a
Meaning: urine
Chechen: ħaṭq̇a
Batsbi: ħajṭq̇ĭ
Comments: Vowel length determined because of Bacb. dyphthongization (a short *a would not yield -aj- in this position). Obl. base *ħāṭq̇u- (Chech. ħoṭq̇a-, Bacb. ħaṭq̇u-). 3d class in both languages.

Meaning: 1 gall 2 gall bladder
Lezghian: ḳʷe-zer 1 (Khl.)
Rutul: neḳi-zar 1 (Ams.)
Tsakhur: ḳɨ-zej 2 (Mishl.)
Comment: All the listed forms reflect a PL compound *nVḳʷV-c:ʷera (with *c:ʷera 'urine', 'bladder'); therefore it is rather hard to reconstruct vocalism in the stem *nVḳʷV-.
