\data\cauc\abadet
Proto-West-Caucasian: *pǝƛ̣a (~-ǝ̃-)
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: sweat
Abkhaz: a-pχ-ʒǝ́
Abaza: pχ-ʒǝ
Adyghe: ṗč̣́ā-nṭ
Kabardian: ṗṣ́ā-nṭa-ps
Comments: PAT *pǝxǝ-ʒǝ (cf. also Bzyb. a-pxʒǝ́) : a compound with *ʒǝ 'water' in the second part.

    PAK *ṗč̣́a-n-ṭa- 'sweat, to sweat' (used also as a verb in Ad. ṗč̣́anṭa-n, Kab. ṗṣ́anṭa-n 'to sweat') : a compound with *ṭa 'liquid' in the second part (see PWC *ṭV). In Kab. we have a further compound with -ps(ǝ) 'water' (in Ad. there also exists a corresponding form ṗč̣́anṭa-ps).

    The correspondence PAT *-x- (before affricate) : PAK *č̣́ is unambiguosly pointing to PWC *ƛ̣. Since there is no Ub. reflex, it is also possible to reconstruct nasalisation in PWC.

    The etymology of the PAK form proposed by Shagirov (1977, 2, 53: "to weed" + "to dig") is absolutely unacceptable.
