Proto-West-Caucasian: *pǝč̣́a
Meaning: to weed
Adyghe: ṗč̣́a-
Kabardian: ṗṣ́a-
Comments: PAK *ṗč̣́a-. The root is unknown outside the AK area (Klimov's comparison with Abkh. a-bc̣a-ra 'to mow' /see Klimov 1967, 299/ should be abandoned for phonetic reasons). Other etymological attempts (see Shagirov 2, 53 with literature) had also been unsuccessful.
