Proto-Tsezian: *=ɨχ:V- A

Proto-Dargwa: *=uχ:(Vn)-

Proto-Lezghian: *ʔeχVn- (~-l-)

Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. "Lax" phonation (hence *-χ-) is suggested by PN, PA and PL reflexes; however, the PTs and Darg. forms point rather to *=Hēwχ_V(n). Reasons for this variation are not quite clear.

Nakh etymology :

Proto-Nakh: *=ʕābχ-V(n)

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: hot

Chechen: =owχa

Ingush: =ʕajχa

Batsbi: =apχẽ

Comments: This adjective is a derivate from a verbal root *=ʕōbχ-/*=ʕēbχ-, reflected in Bacb. =epχ-dar 'to warm up' (dur.), =opχ-dar id. (term. = Chech. =oχ-dan). Cf. also other Bacb. derivates: jopχ "heat", dopχ "sweat", dapχ-na "heat", japχol "warmth".

Chadakolob: χéna-b 1

Akhvakh: =iχ(ũ) 2

Tindi: =iχ- 3

Comments: In Av. Chad. ħ- would be expected normally; χ- should probably be explained by the influence of literary Avar. An Ablaut variant of the same root is PA *ʔoχ(ʷ)Vn- 'to boil, seethe' > And. oχʷon- (the MSU recording is oχ:ʷon-, which is probably a misspelling), Akhv. ãχun-, Cham. aχʷa-ta-d- (Gig. aχaχ-), Kar. ahan- (Anch. ãχuχʷ-, Tok. ũhũh-), God. ãwuχ-.

Proto-Yupik: *ǝknǝ-ʁ (~ *kǝnǝ-ʁ), *ǝknǝ-ŋǝ-, *ǝkn-a-

Proto-Inupik: *iknǝ-ʁ, *ikn-a-

Comments: The stem looks like a derivative (deverbal noun) from *ǝkǝ(-) 'to burn', but a regular nominal affix must have had preserved a regular uvular consonant in the auslaut position. As is evidenced by Naukan and Inupik data, the uvular, on the contrary, is actually "dropped". We can therefore suggest a secondary reinterpretation of the root as a former derivative with the suffix -nǝʁ.
