Proto-North Caucasian: *ʒ́w[ǝ̆]nʔi ( ~ -ē)
Meaning: wine; honey
Notes: The EC-WC parallel seems quite probable both phonetically and semantically. The first vowel is not quite clear (because of assimilations and labialisations in EC reflexes); to judge from PWC *sʷ-, it must have been a short back vowel.
