Protoform: *χ:inṭV
Meaning: snivel, snot
Avar: χ:ojnč̣ér (Uslar)
Akhvakh: χ:ẽṭe
Tindi: χ:inṭa (Leksika)
Bagvalal: χinṭa (Leksika)
Comments: There is some confusion as to the strength of the initial consonant: Bagv. χinṭa is quoted from Лексика 1971 and thus may be a misspelling instead of *χ:inṭa (the recordings there are very inaccurate); in Akhv. we have χ:ẽṭe in the records of MSU, but χẽṭe (and also Tseg., Tlan., Ratl. χenṭe) in Magomedbekova's recordings.
The Av. form χ:ojnč̣ér (Uslar) should be most probably explained as a compound *χ:Vnṭ ( = PA *χ:inṭV) + *ʕinčer; the second part is independently reflected in Av. Chad. ʕinčí (q.v.).
