Proto-Nakh: *(p)s(ɦ)ārV
Meaning: long switch, long branch; wire
Chechen: sāra
Ingush: särg
Comments: In Ing. - a form with the diminutive *-ḳ (cf. also Chech. (Usl.) sārag id.). 6th class in both languages. Since there is no Bacb. reflex, it is impossible to determine whether we deal with PN *s- or *ps-, and whether there was a medial laryngeal. External evidence is in favour of PN *psɦārV.
