Proto-Nakh: *ʁunṭV- (~-o-,-d-)
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: bug
Chechen: ʁundalʁi
Comments: The word is homonymous with ʁundalʁi 'black elder' (Ing. ʁuldam), but this is probably fortuitous, since it has probable external parallels (or else a development "bug" > "black elder" had taken place - since black elder berries look like small insects?).
