Abkhaz-Adyghe etymology :

Proto-West-Caucasian: *bǝlǝ
Meaning: 1 ram 2 cattle, riches
Adyghe: bǝLǝm 2
Kabardian: bǝLǝm 2
Ubykh: bǝjǝ́ 1
Comments: PAK *bǝLǝmǝ; Ub. def. á-bǝj. The correspondence PAK *L : Ub. -j- points to PWC *l; -mǝ in PAK is a suffix (or some obscure compound). Shagirov (1977, 103) proposes for the Adygh form a loan from Turk. (bilim 'knowledge'), but it seems absolutely unacceptable for semantic reasons.

Lapurdian: abere 1, (arc) abre 1
Baztanese: abere 1

Roncalese: abre 1
Comments: Cf. PNC*bü̆ɫV 'horned animal'. The variant abel- appears in compounds such as abel-buru 'head of cattle'. Michelena (1961) derives this word from Lat. habere, though the semantic derivation is tortuous ('to have' > 'possession' > 'animal'), and internal reconstruction brings us to *a(=)bele, phonetically and semantically a straightforward match with PSC *bVɫV.
