Proto-Nakh: *nač̣
Meaning: oak-tree
Chechen: naž
Ingush: naž
Comments: 3d class in Chech., 4th class in Ing. Obl. base *nač̣u- (Chech. noža-, Ing. with vowel levelling nažo). Cf. also Lev., Cheb., Shar., Ved. naž, Khild. naǯ, Ing. (in Imnaishvili's recording) nač: (obl. noža-). The last two forms (Khild. -ǯ and Ing. -č:) suggest, even without a Bacbi parallel, the reconstruction of *č̣ in PN.
