PROTO: *čHwV̄r(V)ṭV
MEANING: a k. of bird (swallow, starling)
COMMENT: Except Lak. čiṭu (which may be a loan from Darg.), all other forms seem to be genuine and the root is worth reconstructing for PNC - although, of course, one must take into account numerous irregularities typical for names of birds and small animals.
