Akhvakh: č̣ãṭi

Chamalal: č̣an

Tindi: č̣andi

Karata: č̣anṭe

Botlikh: č̣anṭi

Godoberi: č̣anṭi

Comments: Av. paradigm B (č̣oṭó-l, č̣uṭú-l). Cf. also Akhv. Tseg., Ratl., Tlan. č̣andi. The original form is probably *č̣ondi, and forms with -ṭ- reflect an assimilation (see, however, below).

Protoform: *č̣ora

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: heifer

Avar: ʕač̣ár (Gudava)

Andian language: č̣ora

Chamalal: č̣ā

Tindi: č̣ara

Karata: č̣ara

Botlikh: č̣ara

Bagvalal: č̣ara

Godoberi: č̣ara

Comments: The Av. form probably reflects a merger of two Av.-And. roots: a) = PA *č̣ora; b) = PA *ʁadač̣a 'heifer, bull-calf' q.v. (the And. "animal" infix -dV- is regularly rendered in Av. as -ʕV-, thus the Av. correspondence for *ʁadač̣a would be *ʁaʕač̣a > *ʕač̣a.

An Andian loan (before the shift *o > a) is Inkh. č̣oro 'heifer'.

Godoberi: č̣imiχ 2

Comments: Av. č̣um has paradigm C or A (pl. č̣úma-l); č̣imíχ: has paradigm C (č̣inχ:í-l, č̣ínχ:a-l). Cf. also Akhv. Tlan. č̣iχ:i, Ratl. č̣imiχ:i. The God. form may be borrowed from Avar (in any case, God. -χ is most probably a misspelling instead of -χ:). Av. č̣imíχ: and the Andian forms contain an expressive suffix -Vχ:.

Av. > Arch. č̣imiχI 'road-metal', Gunz. č̣imiχ 'small stone'.
