Comments: Av. paradigm B (gen. Chad. kawú-l / kawú-dul, pl. /Uslar/ kawá-bi). All Andian forms can be, in fact, more or less recent loanwords from Avar; a certain loanword is Tind. kawu (with k- instead of regular ḱ-). Also borrowed from Av. are Tsezian forms: Tsez., Gin., Inkh., Gunz. kawu, Bezht. kaw 'gate'.
