Comments: The word is cited from Mikh. Dial.; cf. (ibid.) Andal. šumeš, šoneš 'nose'.

Protoform: *š:uṭV

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: lizard

Avar: š:uṭ (Ants.)

Comments: The Av. dialect form is quoted from Khaidakov 1973; he also lists variants č:uṭ, c:uṭ - which have an affricate due to contamination with the root č:ut q.v. Although both forms are hard to separate from within Avar, external evidence shows that they are historically distinct.

Av. dial. č:uṭ > Gunz. čuṭ 'lizard'.

Protoform: *š:V

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: what, who

Avar: š:i-

Chadakolob: si-

Comments: The root is preserved only in Av. (with changing class suffixes: 1st class - š:i-w, 2d - š:i-j, 3d - š:i-b, pl. š:a-l), but has good external parallels.

Protoform: *š:VlV

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: silt, slime

Avar: š:aláj

Comments: Paradigm B (gen. š:aláj-dul). The word is also attested in God. (š:ale), but here it is most probably a loanword from Avar.

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: 1 tomorrow 2 a day after tomorrow

Andian language: š:ela 1

Chamalal: s:ola 2

Tindi: š:ola 1

Comments: Not quite clear is Cham. s:eṭ 'tomorrow' (is it a reduction < *š:ʷil-ṭV with an unclear suffix, or a quite different root?).

Protoform: *š:ʷiṭV

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: 1 pipe, reed-pipe 2 to whistle

Avar: š:ʷanṭíχ:

Akhvakh: š:iṭi

Tindi: š:uṭ-ij- 2

Comments: The Akhv. form has irregularly preserved š:- (which should have yielded s:-), obviously, for expressive reasons. The Avar form contains an expressive suffix; medial -n- is probably secondary (it has no external parallels). The Avar form was borrowed in many Andian languages (Kar. š:ʷanṭiχ:, Tind. š:inṭiχ:, Cham. s:anṭiχ - all cited from Leks.; God. š:anṭiχ:) and Lak. š:uIṭuχ:i id. We should also mention some Avar form with prothetic i- (cf. Lezgian below): íšṭi 'whistle', íšṭi-ze 'to whistle', išṭé-ro 'whistle (n.)'.

Avar: šulu (Ants.) 1

Andian language: tom-š:il 2

Chamalal: na-s:ul 2

Tindi: han-š:al 3

Karata: hani-š:el 2

Comments: The Andian languages have preserved the root only in compounds: *honi-š:ʷVlV "marrow (brain)"+"pipe" ( = 'tubular bone') or *tomV-š:ʷVlV (And. tomš:il) with a not quite clear first component (see the discussion under *tamHV 'sinew').
