Proto-North Caucasian: *gɦwăndV̆ ( ~ -ĕ-,-ɨ̆-)
Meaning: hole, pit

Protoform: *gʷandV ( ~ -o-)
Meaning: pit
Avar: gʷend
Chadakolob: gʷand
Akhvakh: gʷandi
Chamalal: gann
Tindi: ǵandu
Karata: ganda
Comments: Av. paradigm C (gʷandí-l, gʷénda-l; but Chad. C: gʷandú-l, gʷandá-l). Cf. also Akhv. Tlan., Ratl. gabda 'pit', Cham. Gad. gannu, Gig. ganna 'hollow (of a tree), Kar. Rats. gʷande, Tok. gabda 'pit'. The Andian form was borrowed in Tsezian languages: Tsez. gʷandi / gʷando, Gin. gangʷi, Inkh. gaIndu, Bezht. gand (borrowing is proved by the preservation of -n-, which would otherwise yield nasalisation), and in Arch. gundi 'pit'.
