Комментарий: For the obl. base cf. Tsakh. mahIɨ-. 3d class in Rut., Tsakh., 4th class in Arch. A similar root exists in Turkic languages, but the possibility of borrowing is excluded (first, because the root has secure correspondences in other Dagestanian languages; second, because in Turkish and Azeri - the possible source of borrowing - the word sounds bejin).
