Comments: Cf. also Chech. It. c̣ang. 3d class in Chech., 4th class in Ing. The form contains a suffix *-ḳu (probably a variant of the more usual diminutive *-iḳ).
Comments: On basis of Chech. c̣eca- and Ing. cic- (with assimilation < c̣ic-) a PN paradigm *c̣ic,*c̣aci- can be reconstructed. The simple root is not attested; it is present only within a compound *c̣aci-joqqV-riḳ (*c̣ic-joqqV-riḳ), distorted phonetically in Ing. cicχolg, and meaning literally "a big *c̣ic" (*j-oqqa 'big').
The same root with a simple diminutive suffix *c̣ic-iḳ (and with assimilation > *cic-iḳ) means "cat" in Chech.-Ing. (Chech. cicig, Ing. cisḳ).
Comments: For the pure stem cf. Chech. c̣in-dan "to renew". The full form in PN shows vacillation between *c̣in-a(n) (Ing. c̣ena) and *c̣in-e(n) (Bacb. c̣inĭ); Chech. c̣ina may go back to either.
Meaning:1 sheep (about 1 y. old) 2 ram (about 1 y. old)
Chechen:c̣in-tō 2
Ingush:c̣un-to 2
Batsbi:c̣in 1
Comments: In Chech. and Ing. the root is present only in compounds (cf. also Chech. c̣in-žī 'sheep about 1 y. old'). Since the root is homonymous with *c̣in- 'new' (having a quite distinct origin), these compounds may now be reinterpreted as 'new sheep' or 'new ram'; however, a separate usage of the stem c̣in in Bacb. shows that this is a secondary situation. Cf. also Osset. c̣ɨnär / c̣inär 'dry (goat, cow or sheep)', probably borrowed from Nakh.
Comments: It is not quite clear, what kind of bush is meant. In the Ing.-Chech.-Russ. dictionary both words are glossed as 'a k. of bush'; in the Chech.-Russ. dictionary (where the form is c̣ulla dečig, probably < *c̣un-la;dečig = 'wood, tree') the gloss is 'a k. of bush with hard wood'.
Comments: 4th class in Chech.; 3d or 4th class in Ing. (3d class - generally, 4th class - "skin of a wolf, dog, hare etc."). Cf. also Pharch. c̣ōka, Lev. c̣wōka.
Comments: The Chech. word is recorded only in the Russian-Chechen and Ingush-Chechen-Russian dictionaries (the standard source - Chechen-Russian dictionary - records only the synonymous compound c̣oq̇-berg, and Uslar has only another compound, c̣oq̇-ɛrzaw 'eagle'), but vowel length can be securely postulated on the basis of a derived adjective: Chech. c̣ȫq̇a 'variegated (of animals)'. The oblique stem can be reconstructed as *c̣ōq̇e- (Chech. [in the Ingush-Chechen-Russian dictionary] c̣öq̇a-, Ing. c̣oq̇o). The word belongs to the 3d class in both languages.
