Proto-North Caucasian: *ɦiš_Ūn
Meaning: to knead (dough), to press
Notes: The comparison seems quite satisfactory both phonetically and semantically (for phonetic reasons Shagirov's proposal to compare PAK *pš:a- with Av. =ac- 'to knead' etc., see Shagirov 2, 35-36, should be declined). See Абдоков 1983, 170.
