North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: breast

Tsezi: ħemori

Ginukh: χema

Comments: PTsKh *χ̥1̇ɨmo(RV) (~-i-) (in Tsez. there is a variation ħemori/ħamori). The word is also used in a compound with PTs *rɔḳʷǝ 'heart' (Tsez. ħamo-roḳu, Gin. χemo-roḳe, /Lomtadze/ χema-roḳʷe).

In Gin. there also exists a word ʁomoro 'part of beef brisket' (Lomtadze) which must be borrowed from some Bezht.-Gunz. dialect (in PGB a regular correspondence for PTsKh *χ̥1̇ɨmoRV would be *ʁɨmVrV /~-i-).

Meaning: elbow

Bezhta: χaro (Tlad.)

Comments: Although Bezht. Tlad. χaro 'elbow' is hard to separate from Khosh. haro, Gunz. hɔru etc. (PTs *hɔru q.v.), it has to be done - because the consonantal correspondence "Tlad. χ- : h- in other languages" is absolutely irregular.

Proto-Tsezian: *χ:aχ:a

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: rake

Khvarshi: χaχa

Comments: Attested only in Khvarsh. (Inkh. χanχa 'rake', because of its phonetic structure with -n-, must be considered a loan from Andian), but having probable external parallels.
