North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *gwăǯē
Meaning: bitch, dog
Notes: The comparison seems plausible both semantically ('wolf':'dog') and phonetically; not quite clear, though, are the laryngeal features of the first consonant (we may deal with an assimilation in PEC, and then we will have to reconstruct *kwăǯē; or it may be a dissimilation in PWC: *gwăǯē > *kwăǯē > PWC *kʷǝč́:ǝ). EC > Osset. gaʒa, Balk. gaǯǝ 'bitch' (see Abayev 1958, 504).

Dargwa etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Dargwa: *k:ʷač:a
Meaning: bitch
Akusha: gaža
Comments: Cf. also Ur. gʷaǯa, Kharb. k:ʷač:a, Tsud. k:uč:a. Kub. k:ʷač:e, because of final -e, is irregular and may be a Lak. loanword. On the other hand, the Darg. word (forms like Ur. gʷaǯa) was borrowed in Lak. guža 'bitch' (thus creating an etymologic doublet k:ʷač:i 'dog' : guža 'bitch'), whence Arch. guža id.
