Proto-North Caucasian: *qVdV ( ~ χ:-)
Meaning: brisket
Notes: An Avar-Tsez. isogloss. Somewhat dubious, although the similarity of Av. -hed and Bezht. ʁade 'brisket' can hardly be coincidental (while at the same time it is impossible to keep the Avar form away from PA *niqi 'breast' - quite a different root, see *mōnqī).
