Proto-Nakh: *nɦeʔ
Meaning: door
Chechen: neʕ
Ingush: niʕ
Batsbi: nʕajʔ-sã
Comments: 4th class in Chech. and Ing. The Bacbi word is a compound (for the second part see PN *sān). The independent root *nɦeʔ underwent in Bacbi some transformations. It is now used only as a locative derived from the oblique base *nɦaʔe- (cf. *nɦaʔe-rV- > Chech. neʕara-, Ing. naʕara-): Bacb. nʕaʔi(ħ) 'outdoors', nʕajʔ '(to the) outside'; cf. also nʕajʔa 'place around the house, outdoors'.
