Proto-West-Caucasian: *tǝ / *ṭǝ
Meaning: ram
Abkhaz: a-tǝ́
Abaza: tǝ
Adyghe: ṭǝ
Kabardian: ṭǝ
Ubykh: ṭǝ
Comments: PAT *tǝ, PAK *ṭǝ. Glottalisation in PAK and Ub. is obviously secondary, although its source is not quite clear (perhaps it reflects the original laryngeal -ʔ- which had been lost in Inlaut). Another solution would be comparing the PAK and Ub. root with a different EC stem (cf. PA *riṭana [~-o-] 'lamb' > Botl. reṭana, Cham. jeṭana etc.) - which, however, seems rather dubious (it is difficult to separate WC forms from each other).
