Abkhaz: a-ǯ́ǝ́ḳa
Abaza: ǯ́ḳa
Adyghe: š́ǝʁw
Kabardian: šǝʁw
Ubykh: ǯ́ǝ
Comments: PAT *ǯ́ǝ-ḳa (with a not quite clear second component: is it the singulative marker *-ḳǝ - *ǯ́ǝ-ḳa < *ǯ́ǝ-ḳǝ 'a grain of salt' ?). PAK *č́ǝ-ʁʷǝ́ (Shagirov 2, 142 must be right in equating the second component with *ʁʷǝ- 'dry, get dry'). It is not quite clear why the affricate in PAK had become unvoiced (perhaps a secondary dissimilation).

Comments: Analyzed here as PSC *čä́HV ‘salt’ with a fossilized class prefix *i= (mass/uncountable nouns) and suffix *-śo, found also in (L-arc) ibaso ‘river’ (see *ɦibai). Azkue cites *-śo only as the kinship suffix *-śo (q.v.). It is not clear whether *-śo in itsaso and ibaso is identical with it (‘child of salt’ = ‘sea’?) or the diminutive -txo (*-čo), or neither.
