Proto-Dargwa: *nu-š:a
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: you (2d p. plur.)
Chiragh: nuš:a
Comments: On initial nu- see under PEC *nɨ̆. Other Dargwa dialects also reflect the stem -š:a, but synchronically it must be already analysed as a plural marker (cf. Ak. nu 'I' - nuš:a 'we', ħu 'thou' - ħuš:a 'you'). In Chirag the situation is different - nu- is a collective morpheme, prefixed to -s:a 'we (excl.)' (nus:a), -x:a 'we (incl.)' (nux:a) and -š:a 'you' (nuš:a).
