Ginukh: iʎno

Khvarshi: ẽjʎa

Inkhokvari: ĩʎ / ẽʎ

Bezhta: iʎna

Gunzib: iʎno

Comments: PTsKh *ʔẽʎ-no; PGB *ʔiʎ-n[ɔ] (with -i- on analogy with *ʎi-nɔ 'five').

Tsezi: im

Khvarshi: ime

Inkhokvari: eme

Bezhta: eme-da

Meaning: snow

Tsezi: isi

Ginukh: iše

Khvarshi: ĩsa

Bezhta: õz

Gunzib: ǝ̃z

Comments: PTsKh *ʔẽsǝ; PGB *ʔǝ̃z (cf. also Bezht. Tlad. õz, Khosh. oz). PGB *ʔǝ̃z is probably an analogical building from the oblique base *ʔǝ̃zi-, built with Ablaut (a regular correspondence for PTsKh *ẽ would be PGB *ẽ).

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: male

Comments: Attested only in Tsez., but with probable external parallels.

Comments: PTsKh *ʔẽš; PGB *ʔẽš (cf. also Bezht. Khosh. es). The aberrant Tsez. and Khvarsh. forms (heneš and hĩjoš) go back to a PTsKh compound *hĩ+ʔẽš ("pear"+"apple", see PTs *hĩ 'pear').

Proto-Tsezian: *ʔetag̥1̇a-r

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: eagle

Inkhokvari: etakan

Comments: Isolated in Inkh., but with probable external parallels. Inkh. -k- presupposes PTs *-k- or *-g̥1̇-; Inkh. -n - PTs *-r, *-l or *-n.

Proto-Tsezian: *ʔeχen (~ħ-,-ǝn)

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: big stone

Tsezi: aħin

Khvarshi: eχen (Radzhibov)

Tsezi: iħu

Ginukh: iχu

Khvarshi: ẽχu (Bokarev)

Inkhokvari: ẽχIu

Bezhta: ẽχe

Gunzib: ẽχu

Comments: PTsKh *ʔẽχIu (cf. also Tsez. in Imnaishvili's notation iχIu); PGB *ʔẽχu (cf. also Bezht. Tlad. ẽχö, Khosh. eχo; Bezht. prop. ẽχe reflects the original obl. base, cf. Gunz. ẽχe-, Bezht. Tlad. ẽχe-). Lomtadze lists also a Gin. form iqIu 'river', which is possibly a misspelling instead iχu or iχIu.

Proto-Tsezian: *ʔẽzɔ A ( ~ -z:-)

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: wild turkey

Ginukh: izo

Khvarshi: ĩzo (Radzhibov)

Comments: PTsKh *ʔẽzo.

Proto-Tsezian: *ʔ[ẽ]zu A ( ~ -z:-)

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: cheese

Tsezi: izu

Ginukh: ižu

Khvarshi: ĩzu (Radzhibov)

Inkhokvari: ẽzu

Bezhta: õzo (Tlad.)

Gunzib: ǝ̃zu

Comments: PTsKh *ʔẽzu; PGB *ʔǝ̃zu (cf. also Bezht. Khosh. ozo; Gunz. (G.) ɔ̃zu is probably an incorrect recording). The vowel *-ǝ̃- in PGB is irregular.

Proto-Tsezian: *ʔǝgV (~-ɨ-)

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: near

Tsezi: igo

Ginukh: igo

Khvarshi: agol

Inkhokvari: oge

Proto-Tsezian: *ʔǝ̃ʁ:(-ʁ:ʷǝdǝ)

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: sweat

Tsezi: eʁʷedi

Ginukh: eʁʷada

Khvarshi: aʁuda (Radzhibov)

Inkhokvari: oʁʁodo

Bezhta: had

Gunzib: hɔ̃d

Comments: A complicated case. The PTsKh form may be reconstructed as *ʔǝʁ-ʁʷVdǝ, where the second component is most likely equal to *ʁʷǝdǝ 'rain' (cf. analogous compounds "sweat"+"water" or "sweat"+"liquid" in PWC, see *ɦămƛ̣ă). In this case, the PGB form, reconstructed as *hɔ̃d, must also be a contraction < *ʔɔ̃hɔ̃d(V) < *ʔǝ̃ʁ:+ʁ:ʷǝdǝ (the second component normally reflected in PGB as *wǝdǝ q.v.), thus suggesting nasalisation of the first component *ʔǝ̃ʁ:.

Proto-Tsezian: *ʔǝr (~ʕ-,ħ-)

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: 1 raspberry 2 blackberry

Bezhta: oj-do 1

Gunzib: ɨr (kãj) 2

Comments: PGB *ʔǝr (or *ʔɔr, cf. Gunz. (G.) ɔr kãj 'raspberry'); cf. also Bezht. Khosh. ordo, Tlad. ordijo. The root originally meant "red" (cf. the external evidence) and is shaped as an adjective (with adjective -do/-dijo suffixation) in Bezht.
