Protoform: *ħaʔi

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: team-work (followed by regalement)

Avar: gʷaj

Andian language: haj (Leksika)

Akhvakh: he (Leksika)

Tindi: haj (Leksika)

Karata: haʕe (Leksika)

Comments: Av. paradigm B ~ C (loc. gʷawú-ƛ̣:). All the Andian data are taken from Leksika 1971; the MSU recordings list only Avar loanwords with the meaning "team-work" (And. gʷaj, Akhv. gʷē, Cham. gʷaj, Tind. gʷā). The Avar word is also borrowed in Tsez., Inkh. gʷaj; a dialectal or Old Avar form *gʷah is borrowed in Arch. gʷah, Bezht., Gunz. gahi.

Av. gʷaj : PA *ħaʔi is one of the rare cases of the g :h correspondence (going back to the hypothetic PEC *ɣ).

Protoform: *ħabara

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: rye

Avar: ogób

Chadakolob: ugúb

Akhvakh: hagi

Tindi: haǵib

Comments: Av. paradigm C (abgí-l, ábga-l). Cf. also Akhv. Tseg., Tlan. hagib, Ratl. hagibi (Akhv. North. in the MSU recording: hagī). A quite strange form, recorded parallelly in Northern Akhvakh by Magomedbekova, is og 'rye' (perhaps a borrowing from some Av. dialect?).

Protoform: *ħala ( ~ o)

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: branch

Akhvakh: hala

Akhvakh: hãde

Chamalal: anna

Tindi: hanḳ́iṭa

Karata: hanṭiḳa

Botlikh: hanṭuḳa

Bagvalal: haḳ́iṭa

Comments: Av. paradigm A (ʕín-zul, ʕún-dul; Chad. ʕín-dul, ʕína-l). In PA we have a suffixed form *ħan-di (reflected directly in Akhv. and Cham.); other languages, however, reflect the further diminutive suffixation *ħandi-ḳa (cf. Kar. Tok. handiḳ́a) with assimilation *-d- > -ṭ- in most languages.

With a privative suffix the root is present in a derivate *ħan-q̇:V- / *ħandi-q̇:V- 'deaf': Av. ʕínq̇:a-, Chad. ʕínq̇:a-, Cham. Gig. hãq̇:u-l, Akhv. hãdeloq̇:e-, Tind. handiq̇:u-. Av. > Bezht. Tlad., Gunz. ʕenq̇ab, Bezht. Khosh. enq̇ab, perhaps also Arch. eInk-du (although the Archi velar is rather strange).

Finally, the same root is present in the compound Av. ʕen-ék:- = And. an-č:i-, Tind. an-ix́:- 'to listen' ("ear" + "catch, hold"; Cham. Gig. ʕenax-id- id. should be rather considered as borrowed from Avar, as well as Bezht. Tlad. ʕenekzi =aq- id.).
