Proto-West-Caucasian: *k:ʷǝč́:ǝ /*č́:ǝk:ʷǝ
Meaning: 1 mule 2 donkey
Abkhaz: a-gʷǝ́ž́ 1
Ubykh: č́ǝgʷǝ́ 2
Comments: There are several competing forms in Ub. (see Vogt 1963, 98): cǝgʷǝ́, čǝ́gʷ, č́ǝgʷǝ́ (also listed is čǝdǝ́ which is a quite separate root). The form č́ǝgʷǝ́ corresponds best to Abkh. a-gʷǝ́ž́ (if we assume a rather common metathesis). In PWC we must reconstruct *č́: and either *gʷ or *k:ʷ.
