Proto-Tsezian: *ƛ̣iriṗ B

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: pastry made of barley flour

Tsezi: ƛ̣eṗeli (Radzhibov)

Ginukh: ƛ̣ereṗ (Lomtadze)

Khvarshi: ƛ̣eṗeru (Lomtadze)

Bezhta: ƛ̣ijṗ

Gunzib: ʎiriṗ

Comments: PTsKh *ƛ̣ɨrɨṗ(u) (with metathesis in Tsez and Khvarshi; in Khvarsh. Lomtadze gives also a variant ƛ̣uṗuru); PGB *ƛ̣iriṗ (with irregular ʎ- in Gunzib).

Proto-Tsezian: *ƛ̣õ A

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: roof

Tsezi: ƛ̣u

Ginukh: ƛ̣u

Khvarshi: ƛ̣ũ

Inkhokvari: ƛ̣ũ

Bezhta: ƛ̣ama (Tlad.)

Gunzib: ƛ̣ɔme (Gunz.)

Comments: PTsKh *ƛ̣ũ; PGB *ƛ̣ɔmV (cf. also Bezht. Khosh. ƛ̣amo). Gunz. (Bokarev) ƛ̣ame 'roof' is obviously a misspelling instead of ƛ̣ɔme. The PTs paradigm must be reconstructed as *ƛ̣õ, *ƛ̣ɔmV- (with the oblique base preserved as direct in PGB; Tsez. ƛ̣imi 'stone for fastening the roof' is also possibly derivable from this stem).

Proto-Tsezian: *ƛ̣oq ( ~ -ǝ-)

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Bezhta: ƛ̣oq

Comments: Attested only in Bezht., but having probable external parallels.

Comments: PTsKh *ƛ̣öq̇ʷeR(V) (cf. also Gin. in Lomtadze's notation ƛ̣iq̇ʷali(l), in Bokarev's notation - ƛ̣iq̇ʷalil); PGB *ƛ̣ɔrq̇ena (cf. also Bezht. Tlad. ƛ̣ärq̇enä, Khosh. ƛ̣arq̇ena). In Tsez. the word for 'saddle' itself is ƛ̣iliq̇aj which can be treated as a loan from Av. (ƛ̣:ilí+q̇:ají 'saddle' + 'thing, pack').

Proto-Tsezian: *Lãcu ( ~ *L:-)

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: bug, bed-bug

Tsezi: ʎacu

Bezhta: giʔis-naco

Comments: The component giʔis- in the Bezht. compound is not clear. Khaidakov 1973 cites Gin. naco "bed-bug", but the standard Gin. word is tawsa; thus, this is either a loan from Bezht., or more probably a mistake (Gin. instead of Bezht.).

Comments: A reduplicated stem; attested only in Tsez.,but having probable external parallels.

Khvarshi: ʎed (Radzhibov)

Inkhokvari: ʎed 1

Bezhta: led

Gunzib: lǝd

Comments: PTsKh *ʎed; PGB *led (with a strange reflex -ǝ- in Gunz. - perhaps, a misspelling?). In Inkh. one would rather expect *led (and reconstruct PTsKh *Led); perhaps we deal with a loanword from Khvarshi?

Proto-Tsezian: *lɔje ( ~ r-)

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: word, sound, voice

Inkhokvari: loje

Comments: Isolated in Inkh., with a possible Darg. parallel.

Proto-Tsezian: *lɔs ( ~r-, -s:)
