North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *c̣_wĕnhV ( ~ *c̣_ĕmhV)
Meaning: salt
Proto-West Caucasian: *ć̣ǝ Notes: The original form is probably *c̣_ĕmhV (the WC form shows no trace of labialisation), but most EC languages reflect a form with shifted labialisation. The PN form *tuχe is interesting: it may be related here only if we assume the suffixed nature of *-χe (which is semantically not clear); but in any case the development *tuχe < *cwVn-χV within PN is proved by an early Ossetian loan: cäχχ / cänχä 'salt'. The EC forms had been compared by several authors with PWC *ǯ́ǝ (/*č́ǝ) 'salt' (see Mészáros 1934, 287, Klimov 1969, 292, Abdokov 1983, 104); this is, however, not plausible for phonetic reasons, and the comparison with PWC *ć̣ǝ 'salty' seems preferable.

Comments: Aulestia & White cite the meanings: "n. pain, suffering, affliction. adj. bitter, sour. adj. painful, offensive, bitter, angry." Cf. PNC *c̣ĕmhV ~ *c̣wĕnhV ‘salt’. The semantic relation of ‘salt’ ~ ‘bitter’ ~ ‘sour’ is common: cf. Lett. sūrs ‘salt(y), bitter’, Lith. sūrus ‘salt(y)’ ~ Eng. sour, and other examples.
