Nakh etymology :

Proto-Nakh: *šu
Meaning: you (2d p. plur.)
Chechen: šu
Ingush: šu
Batsbi: šu
Comments: For the short vowel in PN cf., e.g., Chech. dat. šu-na. The PN ergative can be reconstructed as *ʔašV (Chech. aša, Bacb. ajš; Ing. ɔša has been transformed on analogy with ɔχa 'we').

Proto-North Caucasian: *źwĕ
Meaning: you (2d p. plur. pron.)
Proto-West Caucasian: *sʷV Notes: The PEC paradigm can be reconstructed as *źwĕ (dir.), *ʔeźw- (erg., cf. PN *ʔašV, and PL *-eǯʷ /shifted to dative, the same as with other pronouns/), *ʔiźw- (gen., cf. PL *-iǯʷ), *źwă- (obl., cf. PL *ǯʷa-). PWC *sʷV (as seen from the non-palatalised *sʷ) reflects rather one of the non-direct stems. As with other plural pronouns, Avaro-Ando-Tsezian languages also reflect a non-direct stem (gen. *ʔiźw- or dat. *ʔeźw-) with the class prefixes *w- or *u_- (in Akhv. uš-di). The initial nasal in Avar, PTs (and also PD) may reflect the original EC pronominal stem *nɨ̆ (q.v.) (which could have possibly denoted collective plural); labial m- in some Avar dialects (cf. Chad. muž) and PTs *miž(:)e is probably due to the influence of the 2d person singular pronoun (Av. mun, PTs *mǝ). See Trubetzkoy 1930, 273; Abdokov 1983, 137-138.

Avar-Andian etymology :

Protoform: *b-iš:- / *ʔuš:-
Meaning: you (2d p. plur.)
Avar: nuž
Chadakolob: muž
Andian language: bis:i-l
Akhvakh: uš-ti / uš-di
Chamalal: biti
Tindi: bis:a
Karata: bišdi
Botlikh: bišti
Bagvalal: bišti
Godoberi: bitte
Comments: Andian languages reflect a complex stem *b-iš:-di- (or *b-iš:-ti-), with exceptional development of the medial cluster *-š:d-. The stem is originally oblique ( < PEC *w-iźwV- with a class marker; cf. also Akhv. ušdi < *u_-iźwV- with another class prefix), and the morpheme *-di- most probably reflects the PEC attributive suffix *-dV.

Tsezian etymology :

Proto-Tsezian: *miž(:)ɔ A
Meaning: you (2d p. plur.)
Tsezi: meži
Ginukh: meži
Khvarshi: mižo
Inkhokvari: mižo
Bezhta: miže
Gunzib: miže
Comments: PTsKh *miže / *mižo; PGB *miže. To judge from the Inkh. evidence, originally the stem *miž(:)e was used as ergative (Inkh. miže), and the stem *miž(:)ɔ - as nominative (Inkh. mižo). The initial labial in PTs *miž(:)e is hard to separate from PA *b- in *biš:-di-, Av. m- in muž 'you'. This means, that the original oblique (genitive) base *-iźwV- (with the class prefixes *w- or *u_-) changed its function to direct as early as in Proto-Avaro-Ando-Tsezian. See below for more details.

Dargwa etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Dargwa: *nu-š:a
Meaning: you (2d p. plur.)
Chiragh: nuš:a
Comments: On initial nu- see under PEC *nɨ̆. Other Dargwa dialects also reflect the stem -š:a, but synchronically it must be already analysed as a plural marker (cf. Ak. nu 'I' - nuš:a 'we', ħu 'thou' - ħuš:a 'you'). In Chirag the situation is different - nu- is a collective morpheme, prefixed to -s:a 'we (excl.)' (nus:a), -x:a 'we (incl.)' (nux:a) and -š:a 'you' (nuš:a).

Comment: Cf. also Lezg. Khl. čü-n, Ag. Bursh. č̌u-n, Fit. kü-n. The PL paradigm can be reconstructed as *ǯʷ[e]-n (nom.), obl. *ǯʷa-, gen. *-iǯʷ: cf. Lezg. kün, obl. kʷe- (Khl. čün, čʷe-, gen. žü < *(u_)iǯʷ-); Tab. uč̌u, gen. ič̌; Ag. čun, erg. če-š, gen. če (Bursh. nom./erg. č̌un, gen. ič̌; Fit. nom./erg. kün, dat. ḱʷa-s, gen. kü-t); Rut. Shin. we, gen. uš-dɨ; Tsakh. šu, gen. wuš-; Arch. žʷe-n, loc. žʷa-t, gen. wiš; Kryz. obl. wä-; Bud. waIn, gen. efi. The original dative stem *-eǯʷ is preserved only in Archi (wež).
