Proto-Dargwa: *š:erš:i
Meaning: onion, garlic
Akusha: širši (Ur.)
Comments: The word has an unexpected voiced ž in several dialects: Ak. žerši, Kait. šerži, Kub. š:ejže. It is possible that these forms are actually borrowed from Tabasaran: cf. forms like Düb. šerže 'garlic' (which is a regular reflex of *šerš:).
