Proto-North Caucasian: *=as_Ar

Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology

Meaning: to throw; to leave, let

Proto-Nakh: *t-as-

Proto-Avaro-Andian: *=is:t- ( ~ -š:t-)

Proto-Lezghian: *ʔas:ar-

Proto-West Caucasian: *(p)sV

Notes: A common NC verbal root; note its frequent combination with *tV- (either prefixed or suffixed, possibly a reflexion of an old compound with *=atVr- 'to let, to be (located)'). Kartvelian *tas- / *tes- 'to sow' is hardly related genetically: most probably it is a loan from early Nakh or Adygh. See Abdokov 1983, 180-181.
