Avar-Andian etymology : Query result

Protoform: *lV

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: address to a man

Avar: le

Comments: Originally must have meant simply "man", confer derivates like lé-bal-ʎi "manhood, courage" (lébal is an original plural form). Preserved only in Av., but has reliable external parallels.

Protoform: *lVmbagV

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: 1 sheep 2 sheep (1 y. old)

Avar: lémag

Akhvakh: lãgi

Comments: Av. paradigm A (lémagul, lémagal). Cf. also Av. Kuyad. nebag 'sheep' (suggesting the protoform *lVmbagV), Akhv. Tlan. langi, Ratl. lamagi id.

Protoform: *mač(ʷ)V

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: snot

Chadakolob: ʕinčí (?)

Andian language: maču

Chamalal: maš

Comments: Cf. also Cham. Gig. mači id. Tind. maši 'snot' has an irregular -š- and is most probably borrowed from Cham. It is not quite clear, how Av. Chad. ʕinčí 'snot' is related here. As a loan from some Tind. or Cham. dialect we must consider the isolated Inkh. mašara 'snivel, snot'.

Protoform: *makʷac- ( ~ -o-)

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: to be hungry

Akhvakh: makʷač-

Chamalal: makʷat-

Tindi: makʷas-

Karata: makʷas-

Godoberi: makʷas-

Comments: Cf. also Tind. mukosa-r, God. makʷasi-r 'hunger'. Quite irregular is -t- in Cham. (cf. also Gig. makat-). The Kar. (Anch., L.-Enkh.) form makʷ- is probably a contraction < *makʷ(a)s-.

Protoform: *mamač:V (~-o-)

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: badger

Avar: parč:o (Unt.)

Chadakolob: bac

Akhvakh: mamac:e

Chamalal: mamaša

Tindi: mamača

Comments: Cf. also Cham. Gig. mumaču. The PAA form should be something like *barVnč:V or *banVrč:V (with secondary devoicing and reduction in some Av. dialects, and with double assimilation in Andian languages; the weakening *-č:- > -č- in Tind. and Cham. is irregular). The accent paradigm in Av. Chad. is A (báci-l, báca-l). Tind. > Inkh. mamača 'badger'.

Protoform: *ma(r)š:u (~-o-)

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: 1 pipe 2 flue

Avar: maš:ú 1

Chamalal: mas:u 2 (Gig.)

Karata: maš:u 1

Comments: In Cham. (U.-Gakv.) the word is reflected as maršʷ 'flue'. This is irregular (normally *š: > Cham. s:, cf. the regular reflex in Gig. mas:u, existing together with a variant maš:u - the latter obviously borrowed from Avar) and suggests the existence of an Av. dialectal form *marš:u > Cham. maršʷ.

Protoform: *mic̣:a-

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: sweet

Andian language: mic̣:a

Akhvakh: mic̣:a-da

Chamalal: miṣa-b

Tindi: mic:a-b

Karata: mic̣:a-b

Botlikh: mic̣:a

Bagvalal: mic̣:a-b

Godoberi: mic:a

Comments: Cf. also Cham. Gig. mic̣:a-b; Akhv. mic̣:a 'alcoholic beverage (beer)'. Avaro-Andian languages also reflect the old derivate *hwmĭʒ_ū > PA *hunc̣:i 'honey': Av. hoc̣:ó (hac̣:ú-l), Chad. hoc̣ó (hoc̣ó-l / hic̣í-l); And. hunc̣:i; Akhv. ũc̣:i; Cham. hũṣ, Gig. hunc̣:i; Tind. hunc:i; Kar. hunc̣:e; Botl. hunc̣:i; Bagv. hũc̣:; God. hunc:i.

Protoform: *mic̣:i

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: tongue

Avar: mac̣:

Chadakolob: mac̣

Andian language: mic̣:i

Akhvakh: mic̣:i

Chamalal: miṣ

Tindi: mic:i

Karata: mac̣:i

Botlikh: mic̣:i

Bagvalal: mic̣:

Godoberi: mic:i

Comments: Av. paradigm C (mac̣:álzul/mac̣:í-l, mác̣:a-l). Not quite clear is the -a- vowel in Kar. (cf. also Masht., Chab. marc̣:i - with preservation of the old Inlaut resonant?).

Protoform: *mic̣:V

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: 1 teat, nipple 2 tip

Avar: móc̣:u 1,2

Akhvakh: mic̣:o 1

Chamalal: miṣ 1

Tindi: mic:i 1

Godoberi: mic:i 1

Comments: Av. paradigm A or C (pl. móc̣:a-bi). In Cham., Tind. and God. the root became homonymous with *mic̣:i "tongue" - which is obviously secondary in view of the Av. and Akhv. evidence.

Protoform: *mic̣:ʷi / *c̣:ʷimi

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: jar, pot

Akhvakh: c̣:uni / c̣:ũ

Karata: muc̣:i (Tok.)

Comments: In Akhv. a variant c̣:ʷani is also attested. In fact, the variant c̣:uni may reflect another PA root (see *c̣:umV- 'pointed'), because the MSU records give for this word a meaning 'spout of a jar' (not 'jar').
