Proto-Dargwa: *k:ʷač:a
Meaning: bitch
Akusha: gaža
Comments: Cf. also Ur. gʷaǯa, Kharb. k:ʷač:a, Tsud. k:uč:a. Kub. k:ʷač:e, because of final -e, is irregular and may be a Lak. loanword. On the other hand, the Darg. word (forms like Ur. gʷaǯa) was borrowed in Lak. guža 'bitch' (thus creating an etymologic doublet k:ʷač:i 'dog' : guža 'bitch'), whence Arch. guža id.
