Праформа: *žV(bV)
Значение: kidney
Аварский: baʕár-žo
Комментарии: Cf. also úrhis:a-žo id. In modern Av. the component -žo here is perceived as žo 'thing' ('red thing', 'inner thing'); this is obviously a folk etymology, and Av. -žo = PTs *žebu etc. It is interesting to note also Arch. žan 'spleen' which must be a borrowing from old Avar (but contaminated with Av. žan / < Pers./ 'soul').
