North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *wĕršē
Meaning: bull-calf, male
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Since the root means 'male, man' in Nakh and Arch., it is natural to compare also the HU material: Ur. wāšǝ 'men, people' (see Diakonoff-Starostin 1986, 20). The labialisation in PA is secondary (Av. and all other languages clearly reflect *-š-), probably under the labialising influence of *w-. The word is ultimately of Indo-European (Indo-Iranian) origin, cf. IE *u_ers- 'male, male animal' ( > Old Ind. vṛṣa- 'bull' etc.), see Старостин 1988, 113.

Proto-Nakh: *borš
Meaning: 1 bull-calf 2 male
Chechen: borš 1, börša 2
Ingush: borša 1,2
Batsbi: borš 1
Comments: PN *borš, obl. *barša- (cf. Chech. barša-n; short vowel reconstructed on basis of Chech. plur. beršaloj). Chech. börša, Ing. borša go back to a suffixed form *borš-e(n). The noun belongs to the 4th class in Chech., Ing., but to the 5th in Bacb.
