Tlad. röte, Khosh. rötö, Gunz. rodo (Gin. roto id., to judge from its vocalism, is a loan from some Bezht. dialect).

Ginukh: tutu-ru 3

Bezhta: tato 2, tit 1

Gunzib: tɔdu 2, tɨt 1

Comments: PGB *tɔtu 'dust, dirt', *tɨt 'ashes'. It is very hard to separate these two PGB stems (of which the second has an exact parallel in Tsez. tet). Since *ɔ / *ɨ is an archaic Ablaut type in PTs, the stem *tɨt is probably a nominalized oblique base (the PTs paradigm must have been *tɔtu, *tɨtu-; *tɨtu- > PTsKh *tɨt, *tutu-ru-).
