Proto-West-Caucasian: *č̣Vq̇ʷǝ (~ *c̣-)
Meaning: manure, dung (of cattle)
Abaza: ħajwan-q̇ʷǝc̣
Ubykh: c̣aq̇ʷ
Comments: In Abaz. a compound (with the borrowed ħajwan 'animal'); metathesis is usual for expressive roots of this type. Since there is no Bzyb form, both *č̣ (PAT *ć̣) and *c̣ (PAT *c̣) can be reconstructed for PWC.
