North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *Hl[a]ƛ̣V̄
Meaning: breast; back
Proto-West Caucasian: *ƛ̣ǝ Notes: The root is preserved only in a few EC languages, but appears to be archaic. Correspondences are regular. One phonetic problem, however, is that we should expect *ƛ: in PWC before an originally long vowel - this makes the comparison less reliable. The Khin. form can belong here if -id may be considered as a suffix, and näḳ- < *läḳ- (although reasons for *l- > n- are not quite clear). Abdokov (1983,73) also compares the PAK form with EC; the Bezht. form ƛ̣a 'behind' which he quotes, may in fact belong here too (although the source of it is unknown to us); however, other forms that are adduced, either do not belong here (as Lezg. ḳul), or are misspelled (as Akhv. raƛ̣:aƛi - instead of raq̇:ʷaƛ:i).

Tsezian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Tsezian: *Haƛ̣V (~ -ɔ-)
Meaning: waist
Bezhta: coṭar-aƛ̣a-s
Comments: The Bezht. word is a compound with coṭaro 'navel'. In the Tlad. dialect the same word sounds ciṭiraƛ̣as / tic̣iraƛ̣as which is a contamination with tic̣iro 'belt'. The second component (-aƛ̣a-s) is an archaic noun meaning 'back, waist' (although synchronously the word may be analysed as "situated above the navel" - which is probably a folk etymology).

Proto-West-Caucasian: *ƛ̣ǝ
Meaning: back
Adyghe: č̣́ǝ-b
Kabardian: ṣ́ǝ-b
Comments: PAK *č̣́ǝ (in compounds with *bǝ 'thick part', *p:q:ǝ 'bone' > Ad. č̣ǝ-pq: 'waist'). The PAK *č̣́ may go back to PWC *ƛ̣, *ƛ̣́ʷ, *č̣́ or *č̣ʷ; we prefer *ƛ̣ only on basis of the external evidence.
