Proto-North Caucasian: *mĭʒ_V
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: sweet
Proto-Nakh: *mac̣-ri-n
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *mic̣:a-
Proto-Tsezian: *nucV A
Proto-Lak: nac̣u-
Proto-Dargwa: *muzi-
Proto-Lezghian: *ʔic̣:ɨ- (/*mic̣:ɨ-)
Proto-Khinalug: c̣in
Proto-West Caucasian: *c̣ʷǝ
Notes: A very widely represented root, and there is no doubt in its archaic character. Most languages also reflect the common EC derivate *hwmĭʒū 'honey' (in some of the modern languages reflexes of these two roots later merged or influenced each other, see above).

    The EC-WC comparison see Абдоков 1983, 149. It seems probable, but there are reservations: if the WC form is really related, one must reconstruct *mĭʒ_ŭ with a short final vowel (opposed to -ū in *hwmĭʒ_ū 'honey'); also unclear are the reasons for dropping *m- in PWC.
