Lezghian etymology :

Proto-Lezghian: *[ħ]elč:
Meaning: mark, sign, target; mark (on sheep's ear)
Lezghian: erž (Khl.)
Tabasaran: miǯi (Düb.)
Agul: irž
Rutul: iǯ / liǯ
Tsakhur: iž
Archi: eIč
Comment: 4th class in all class-distinguishing languages. Cf. also Lezg. Khl. erg. erč:-eni, Ag. Burk. irǯ, Tp. erǯ id. The Anlaut correspondences are exceptional: quite strange is Tab. m-; the Archi pharyngealisation points to *ħ-, but other languages point rather to *ʔ(I). Perhaps we should reconstruct *ħʷ- (not attested elsewhere; this would provide at least some reason for Tab. m-). But otherwise the correspondences are quite regular: medial -r- in Lezg. and Ag., combined with the variation ʔ-/l- in Rut. (liǯ < *ʔilǯ) point unambiguously to PL *-l-. The oblique stem can not be reconstructed (the only form with a vocalic obl. base is Tsakh. ižɨ-, which is not enough for reconstruction).

Abkhaz-Adyghe etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-West-Caucasian: *b(ǝ)źa
Meaning: mark (on cattle's ears)
Adyghe: tħā-bz
Kabardian: tħa-bza
Comments: PAK *tħa-bza (with *tħa- 'ear'); cf. also Kab. ʎā-bza 'mark (on bird's feet)'. Shagirov 1, 244 considers -bza here to be derived from bzǝ-n 'to cut' (q.v.); the external parallels, however, provide another explanation.
