Comments: Av. paradigm B~C (gen. saʕní-l; Chad. gen. šimí-l, but also šámi-l). Av. dial. > Bezht., Gunz. sam 'mint'. It is also highly probable that Lak. san (samu-l) 'ramson' is also a borrowing from the same root in some Av. dialect.

Protoform: *šimišV (~*s)

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: 1 fringe 2 tassel

Avar: simís 1

Akhvakh: sisa 2

Comments: Av. paradigm C (pl. símsa-l). Not quite clear is the reason why Akhv. preserved s in this root (both PA *s and *š normally yield Akhv. š); however, the word (attested in the northern Akhv. dialect) does not resemble a loanword.

Protoform: *š[i]nḳ:ʷV

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: 1 hoof 2 foot, leg 3 stake, wedge

Avar: š:inḳíl 1

Akhvakh: š:unḳʷa 1 (Ratl.)

Chamalal: s:unč̣a 2,3

Tindi: š:unḳ́a 3

Godoberi: š:unḳ́a 2

Comments: Av. paradigm B (pl. š:anḳlá-l). Av. > Akhv. š:ĩḳi (pl. š:ĩḳila), Tseg. š:inḳil 'hoof'. Cf. also Akhv. Tseg., Tlan. š:unḳa 'foot', Cham. Gig. s:anḳa 'ankle'. The only possible reconstruction is *šinḳ:ʷV with a weak *š- and later shift of force to the initial consonant (otherwise in Akhv. we should have expected a regular development *š:- > s:-).

Protoform: *šišal(V) ( ~ s)

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: clothes

Akhvakh: šišal(i) (Tseg.)

Comments: Cf. also Tlan., Ratl. šišal(i) id. Northern Akhv. has šišaƛ̣:e which is originally a locative form of the same noun.

Protoform: *šiši

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: silt

Akhvakh: š:iš:i

Karata: šiši

Comments: Akhv. š:iš:i is most probably a misspelling for *šiši (because tense *š: had changed into Akhv. s:).

Protoform: [*-š:-]

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: frequentative

Andian language: -š:-

Protoform: *š:aki-b / *š:aki-m

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Andian language: š:ekib 2

Akhvakh: š:akiba 2

Chamalal: sečib (U-Gakv.) 1

Tindi: š:aḱib 2

Karata: š:akibo 2

Botlikh: š:ikib 2

Bagvalal: š:aḱib 2

Godoberi: š:ikim 2

Comments: Cf. also God. š:iḱara (with another suffixation) "swallow". In Cham. sečib is probably a misspelling for s:ečib (note, however, the MSU Gig. recording also with s-: sečib). Not quite clear is the reason of preservation of š: in Akhv. (s:- would be expected); perhaps, as in the case with *š[i]nḳ:ʷV q.v., we have to reconstruct an early PA form *šak:i- with later shift of tenseness.

Protoform: *š:arV ( ~ -o-)

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: 1 whey 2 buttermilk 3 sour milk

Avar: š:ar 1

Chamalal: s:ara 3

Tindi: š:ari 1 (Leks.)

Karata: š:are 1

Botlikh: š:ara 1

Godoberi: š:ari 2

Comments: Akhv. š:ari 'sour milk' (MSU recording) must be a loan - either from Av., or from some other And. language (otherwise s:- would be expected).
