\data\cauc\abadet
Proto-West-Caucasian: *c̣ǝrʁǝ
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: snail
Adyghe: c̣ǝrʁǝ (Shaps.)
Comments: See Kuipers 1975, 21. The word is quite isolated among WC languages; it seems, however, worth mentioning Abkh. a-č̣̌aʁʷa 'line' (if the original meaning was 'caterpillar' - cf. the external evidence, the semantic development in Abkhaz would be just the same as in Lezghian).
