Proto-North Caucasian: *ɦwālźV
Meaning: axe
Proto-Nakh: *bʡastV ( ~ -ā-,-ṭ-)
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *ʔanži, *ʔanži-TV
Proto-Tsezian: *ʔũž(:)
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The Khvarshi form is not quite regular (we would rather expect -š), thus it may be an old loanword; but at least the Nakh-Andian parallel seems reliable.

Avar-Andian etymology :

Search within this database
Protoform: *ʔanži, *ʔanži-TV
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: axe
Avar: ʕašṭí
Chadakolob: ʕiždí
Andian language: anžidi
Akhvakh: ãžite
Karata: anžito
Bagvalal: anžit (Tlond.)
Comments: Av. paradigm B (ʕošṭó-l, ʕašṭá-l, Chad.ʕoždó-l, ʕaždá-l). The word contains a dental suffix (because of a specific cluster development it is hard to reconstruct it precisely); the only suffixless form is recorded by Khaidakov in an And. dialect (anǯi). Cf. also Akhv. Tseg., Tlan. ʕanžir, Kar. Tok. ʕanžit.
