Proto-West-Caucasian: *pǝša
Meaning: 1 string, rope 2 cord
Adyghe: č̣́ā-psa 1
Kabardian: psǝ 2
Comments: PAK *psǝ (reflected only in Kab.), *ḳa-psá (a compound with *ḳa- 'end, tail'; besides the Ad. form cf. also Kab. č̣ā-psa id.). See Shagirov 2, 132. The PWC reconstruction is tentative because PAK *s can go back to several sources: *s, *š or *ś.
