Protoform: *=uš:-
Meaning: 1 to scatter, strew 2 to be scattered, fall
Avar: š:ʷa- 1
Chadakolob: susá-ḳ- 1
Akhvakh: š:e-r- (Ratl.) 2
Chamalal: š:uš:ē-d- 2
Tindi: =uš:- 1
Comments: Av. and Cham. reflect a reduplicated stem *š:uš:- (cf. also Av. lit. š:uš:á- 'to be scattered'). An expressive root, which explains the preservation of š: in Cham. and Akhv. (regularly s: would be expected; on the possible regular reflex in Cham. see under *=Vrc_wĂ).
