Proto-Dargwa: *q̇anc̣(a)
Meaning: vinegar
Akusha: q̇anc̣a
Comments: Cf. also Ur., Muir., Kub. q̇anc̣, Kait. q̇ac̣ id. This Dargwa word (historically a derivate from **-anc̣a 'sour' with the adjectival prefix *q̇(a)-) was widely borrowed in neighbour languages: Av. q̇:anc̣a, (probably through Avar) > Arch. q̇anc̣a, Chech. q̇onza. The original meaning 'sour, to be sour' is preserved in the Archi loanword q̇anc̣- 'sour, to be sour'.
