Nakh etymology :

Proto-Nakh: *ʔārʁ(a) ( ~ ʕ-)
Meaning: a low mountain ridge
Chechen: raʁ
Ingush: arʁa
Comments: 4th class in Chech., 3d class in Ing. Obl. base *ʔārʁe- (Chech. rēʁa-). Nakh forms (at least Chech. raʁ) may be actually borrowed from Iranian, cf. Osset. raʁ 'mountain ridge' < *rāga- (Pers. rāɣ etc.), see Abayev 1973, 344. But most probably there was a merger of the genuine root and the Iranian loan.
