Proto-North Caucasian: *pinŁ_wV (~-ƛ̣_w-)
Meaning: a k. of plant
Notes: An Av.-Lezg. isogloss. Abdokov (1983, 111) compares the Av. and Arch. forms with PAK *pábźa (Ad. pābź, Kab. pābźa) 'bushes, dense growth' which is phonetically improbable (see Shagirov 2,7 on the possible morphological structure of the PAK form).
