Abkhaz-Adyghe etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-West-Caucasian: *mVč́V
Meaning: 1 millet (standing) 2 bread 3 to eat
Abkhaz: a-č́á 2
Abaza: č́a-ra 3
Adyghe: mašǝ 1
Kabardian: maš 1
Comments: PAT *č́a 'to eat; bread, wheat' (cf. also Abkh. a-č́a-rá 'to eat', a-č́á-ra-ʒ / a-č́a-rǝ́-ʒ 'wheat' [lit. 'seed of bread']); PAK *mač́ǝ́. Despite Shagirov (1, 268) PAK *mač́ǝ́ is not connected with PAT *mǝxǝ 'field, harvest' q.v. We prefer the older etymology of Rogava (1956, 34). The disappearance of *mV- in PAT must be explained by the fact that the root became verbal in PAT ('to eat') - and verbal roots can not begin with *m-.

North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *bŏlćwĭ (~ -n-)
Meaning: millet
Notes: The correspondences are regular (note, however, a usual delabialisation in PWC after the initial labial: *bŏlćwĭ > *bŏnčĭ > *mVč́V). The root originally denoted a species of wild millet (used for making brooms), cf. the meanings in PTs and PD. Note that Darg. Ak., Ur. muči 'millet' (and other dialectal forms) must be regarded as an old Avarism. See Balkarov 1964, 99, Abdokov 1983, 109.
