North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *Gwăṭɨ̄
Meaning: bush, tree; stalk
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The Tsez. word for "goat's wool" (ʁIiṭa) perfectly fits phonetically; semantically it must be explained as *'stalk' > 'long hair' > "goat's wool" (the variation between "hair" and "bush, shrub" is observed also in several other cases).
