Proto-West-Caucasian: *(bǝ)ʁ́ʷV
Meaning: side
Adyghe: bʁʷǝ
Kabardian: bʁʷǝ
Ubykh: ʁ́a-ḳ́á
Comments: PAK *bʁʷǝ; the Ub. form contains a frequent singular suffix -ḳ́(a). Shagirov (1977) compares the AK form to PAT *ɣʷǝ 'board', Ub. ʁʷǝ 'post' (PWC *Gʷǝ), which seems much less trustworthy. The initial *b- of the PAK form is a historical prefix.
