North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *nɨ̆wc(w)Ā
Meaning: prince, ruler; bride-groom
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *nuco Notes: The original meaning was probably 'chief, ruler' ( > PWC 'god', Av. 'prince'). The semantic change 'ruler' > 'bride-groom' in most EC languages is usual (cf. the borrowed Turk. *bäg in Ag. beǵ, Kryz. bäg, Bud. bǝg, Khin. bäg, Ud. bäj 'bride-groom', the borrowed Pers. padšah 'king' in Av. Chad. parcaħ 'bride-groom' etc.). In PL (Tsakh.) the root underwent metathesis: *nɨwca > *muca > *cuma. With analogous metathesis we can possibly relate here also Darg. ucm-ij 'ruler, prince'.

Avar-Andian etymology :
Search within this database
Protoform: *nuco
Meaning: 1 prince 2 son-in-law, bride-groom
Avar: nucá-l 1
Andian language: nuso 2
Chamalal: nusa 2 (Khaidakov)
Comments: Av. paradigm B (pl. nucá-bi). Most Andian languages do not distinguish the stems *nuco 'bride-groom' and *nusa 'bride' (q.v.), because of the regular merger of *-c- - *-s- and *-o - *-a. The two roots, however, are well opposed in Avar (nucál 'prince' /cf. also nucí-ja-w id./ vs. nus 'bride') and And. (nuso vs. nusa).
