Protoform: *č̣amV ( ~ -o-)
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: 1 mint 2 burdock
Akhvakh: č̣ame 1
Chamalal: č̣amara 2 (Gig.)
Comments: The meaning 'mint' in Northern Akhv. (given by Magomedbekova) is probably incorrect; all other Akhv. dialects have for 'mint' reflexes of PA *ʔimHV or *HirmV (q.v.), and the MSU recording for 'mint' in Northern Akhv. is ʕẽmu. The informants probably had some other plant in mind.

    Cf. also Cham. (U.-Gakv.) č̣awar 'burdock' (with a not quite clear -w-).
