Comment: Cf. also Ag. Bursh. ħamš, Burk. (with metathesis) šʷaħ, Fit. hex́ʷ, Tp. ħäšʷ-ar, Tsakh. obl. ješɨ- 'caraway', Tab. Düb. haIš-am 'weed'. 4th class in Tsakh. and Arch., but 3d class in Rut. The Archi form reflects a metathesis of the resonant into Anlaut and the *-Vj-suffix (mušu < *ħamšu-j).
