Avar: ʕúž-ruq̇:
Chadakolob: ʕunžúq̇

Comments: The Av. word is a compound with a not quite clear second component; the simple root is well preserved in And. The Av. word is borrowed in many Andian languages (Akhv. ħužuruq̇:e, Cham. ħužruq̇:, Tind. ħužruq̇:) and Tsezian (Inkh. ħužruq̇, Gin. ʕužruq̇).
