Some languages in the direct stem reflect a special stem *qũša (or *χ-): cf. Bagv. (Gudava) hũša (but plur. hura-bi), Cham. Gig. χuša (but erg. χuru-di, pl. χu-dir), Tind. Akn. hũša. This is either an independent root (although its origin is not clear), or a trace of the archaic plural *qurH-ša (corresponding, e.g., to Chech. qa-š 'fields').
