Nakh etymology :

Proto-Nakh: *ʒɦuṭ
Meaning: 1 bitch 2 woman
Chechen: zud 1, zuda 2
Ingush: zud 1
Comments: PN *ʒɦuṭ, *ʒɦuṭe- (3d class) "bitch" (for the obl. base cf. Chech. züda-, Ing. zudo; cf. also Pharch., Akk. zud, Lev. ʒʕud id.). The derivate *ʒʕuṭan "woman" exists only in Chech. (cf. Usl. zudaŋ, Akk. zudã; note that the Lev. dialect in Imnaishvili's notation has no laryngeal here: ʒuda - perhaps a faulty transcription?).

North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *ʒHV̆ṭV
Meaning: woman, female
Notes: The root has no parallels in Dagestan languages, but has a probable match in Hurr. šid-u/ori "maid(en)" (PHU *siṭ-, see Diakonoff-Starostin 1986, 28). Urart. ašti 'woman; wife' was compared (see ibid., 39) with EC forms like Darg. Chir. cade 'female', but in fact may be a prefixed variant of the same HU root.

Zuberoan: ema-zte 2, ema-zte-gei 3
Roncalese: ema-zte 1, ema-zte-gei 3
Comments: For the first element see *ema- 'female'. According to Trask (1997: 271) emazte means 'woman' in three Pyrenean dialects (RNC, AZK, SAL), 'wife' elsewhere. A traditional etymology (since Schuchardt) derives *emaste from *ema- + *gaste 'young', though the actual Bsq meanings do not support the idea of 'young'.
