Comments and references : BCD 8. In PST cf. alternatively *t(h)a `knife, axe' 1017; in PNC - also *ʔVrṭV `to sting'. Perhaps two roots, but hard to distinguish. [Cf. *=ǟtwV, *=āṭwV, *=adV]. Cf. also Basque *bat 'one' ( < 'separate'?)

North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *=ĭṭV
Meaning: to cut, to divide
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The root demonstrates different Ablaut grades (*-i-/*-e-/*-u-). The isomorphism between Av.-And. *b-uṭV 'part', Lak. b-aṭu-l- 'separate' and Darg. Chir. b-iṭal 'part' suggests that the derivate *w-ĭṭV (*w-ŭṭV) can also be reconstructed for PEC. Cf. also HU *ṭiṭi- > Hurr. tid- 'to share out, to separate', tidenni 'sharing out, re-division of land', Urart. ṭiṭj-u/ošǝ 'share, (movable) property' (see Diakonoff-Starostin 1986, 27).
