Proto-West-Caucasian: *bagʷǝ
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: scab, rash; pimple
Adyghe: bagʷǝ
Kabardian: bagʷ

Comments: Ub. bagʷǝ́ may be an Ad. loan (see Shagirov 1,71), but not necessarily so; nothing contradicts the genuine relation between the PAK and Ub. words. Abkh. a-bā 'rotten' has, of course, nothing to do with the root (pace Abdokov 1973,40).
