Protoform: *=iχVn-
Meaning: 1 warm 2 to kindle 3 to become heated
Avar: χína-b 1
Chadakolob: χéna-b 1
Akhvakh: =iχ(ũ) 2
Tindi: =iχ- 3
Comments: In Av. Chad. ħ- would be expected normally; χ- should probably be explained by the influence of literary Avar. An Ablaut variant of the same root is PA *ʔoχ(ʷ)Vn- 'to boil, seethe' > And. oχʷon- (the MSU recording is oχ:ʷon-, which is probably a misspelling), Akhv. ãχun-, Cham. aχʷa-ta-d- (Gig. aχaχ-), Kar. ahan- (Anch. ãχuχʷ-, Tok. ũhũh-), God. ãwuχ-.
