\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *dV
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: that (demonstrative pronoun)
Proto-Nakh: *da-
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *dV-
Proto-Tsezian: *dV
Proto-Lezghian: *dV
Proto-Khinalug: du
Proto-West Caucasian: *da
Notes: One of several common NC deictic stems. The original meaning of *dV seems to be "that" with neutral space status (on the same level as the speaker). Cf. also Khin. t:ʷa (with emphatic tenseness) 'there (on the same level as the speaker)'.

    Because of the clearcut opposition in PL (*dV - *tV) we must distinguish this root from PEC *tV q.v.

    See Trubetzkoy 1930, 274 (comparing also Av. =aṭá 'other, separate' - which hardly belongs here); Abdokov 1983, 138.
