Avar-Andian etymology :

Protoform: *c̣ulV-bVƛ̣:V

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: nut, walnut

Avar: c̣uláƛ̣:o

Chadakolob: č̣onóƛ̣:-ħonó

Chamalal: c̣ulibeƛ̣:a (Gig)

Tindi: c̣ulaƛ̣:a

Karata: c̣ulaƛ̣:i (Arch.)

Comments: The word is an old compound *c̣ulV 'tree, wood' (q.v.) + *bVƛ̣:V 'nut', as it is clearly seen from the Cham. form (c̣ulibaƛ̣:a in Bokaryov's notation). Kar. (prop.) c̣ulaƛ̣:o is probably a loan from Av. The Av. Chad. form is a secondary compound (with ħonó 'egg'); -n- is a result of dissimilation ( < *c̣oloƛ̣).

Comments: Cf. PNC *ʔwōrƛ̣_V 'nut'; the same comparison as Bouda (1948). Words for 'hazel tree' are compounds of *hur̄ + *haice 'tree' (q.v.); words for 'walnut' from an obscure first element + *hur̄. The last may also denote other types of nut (see Azkue under INTS̃AUR).
