North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *=V̄lćV
Meaning: short, narrow
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The vocalism is hard to reconstruct (because of variation within PC and PA); otherwise correspondences are regular. Medial *-l- must be reconstructed to account for the PTs nasalisation (but *-n- or *-m- would have given other reflexes).

Avar-Andian etymology :

Protoform: *=ičo- / *=očo-
Meaning: short
Andian language: =očo
Akhvakh: =ača-da
Chamalal: =ašaḳu-b
Tindi: =ečaḳu-b
Karata: =ačaḳo-b
Botlikh: =ečeḳi
Bagvalal: =ačaḳu-b
Godoberi: =ačeḳi
Comments: The original form must be probably reconstructed as *=ičo- (cf. Tind. =eča-) with vowel assimilation in most languages. Most Andian (except And. and Akhv.) languages reflect a suffixed form *=ičo-ḳV-. Cf. also Akhv. Tseg. =ača-b 'tight, narrow'.

Proto-Tsezian: *=Ṽš:V
Meaning: 1 short 2 thin 3 narrow
Tsezi: niši, nišju 1,2
Ginukh: niššu 2
Khvarshi: niššü 2 (Radzhibov)
Inkhokvari: niššu 2,3
Bezhta: =ašo 1; šušijo 2
Gunzib: =ɔ̃šu 1; šũššu2
Comments: PTsKh *n[e]š(-iju), PGB *=ɔ̃šu (cf. also Khosh. =ä̃ššö, šüšijö). The meaning "thin" in PGB is expressed by a reduplication *šũš(-iju). Vocalic correlations between all these variants are somewhat unclear (traces of Ablaut?).

Classic Old Chinese: chén
Western Han Chinese: chján
Eastern Han Chinese: chján
Early Postclassic Chinese: chjén
Middle Postclassic Chinese: chjén
Late Postclassic Chinese: chjén
Middle Chinese: chjén
English meaning : be shallow, thin
Russian meaning[s]: 1) мелкий; мелководье, мель; посадить (сесть) на мель; 2) неглубокий, поверхностный; простой, элементарный; 3) вульгарный, пошлый; 4) светлый, бледный (о цвете)
Comments: The word does not occur in rhymes, and both *-enʔ and *-anʔ are possible; external evidence seems to be in favour of the former, and so does the loan for *ćēn (MC cien, Pek. jiān) 'to flow rapidly' (Chuci).
