Protoform: *barti (~-o-)
Meaning: stallion
Avar: bárti
Akhvakh: bati
Tindi: barti
Bagvalal: bʕarti (Tlond.)
Comments: Av. paradigm A (bártu-l, búrt-bi/bárta-bi). Cf. also Akhv. Tseg., Ratl. barti. Cham. bart (in all dialects) is probably a late Avar loan (otherwise loss of -r- in U.-Gakv. and Gad. would be expected); other forms also could be loaned from Avar. Av. (or Tind.) > Inkh. barti.
