Comments: 3d class in Chech., 4th class in Ing. Obl. base *nač̣u- (Chech. noža-, Ing. with vowel levelling nažo). Cf. also Lev., Cheb., Shar., Ved. naž, Khild. naǯ, Ing. (in Imnaishvili's recording) nač: (obl. noža-). The last two forms (Khild. -ǯ and Ing. -č:) suggest, even without a Bacbi parallel, the reconstruction of *č̣ in PN.
Comments: Obl. base *nalχe- (Chech. nelχa-, Ing. nalχo). For final *-o cf. Chech. Shar. nolχo (but Cheb. nalχa points rather to *-a). 5th class in Chech., 6th class in Ing.
Comments: In Bacb. noṭq̇ in Kadagidze's notation; Desheriyev writes naṭq̇ (which is the more expected variant). Obl. base *naṭq̇-ar-, cf. Chech. naṭq̇ara-, Ing. nadq̇aro (showing that the loss of -q̇ in the direct base is a recent phenomenon). Note that in Bacb. the plural naṭq̇-ajrĭ means "tears" (cf. the meaning in all other EC languages). 4th class in all languages.
Comments: The original PN form is hard to reconstruct, because the root is attested only in Chech. and was obviously modified under the influence of dēca 'paternal aunt'.
Comments: Cf. also Chech. Lev. njelχĩ, Khild. nīχĭ, Akk. njerχa. The pure root may be observed in Chech. nilχ-dan 'make thin, sparse', Bacb. netχ-dar id.
Comments: 4th class in Chech. and Ing. The Bacbi word is a compound (for the second part see PN *sān). The independent root *nɦeʔ underwent in Bacbi some transformations. It is now used only as a locative derived from the oblique base *nɦaʔe- (cf. *nɦaʔe-rV- > Chech. neʕara-, Ing. naʕara-): Bacb. nʕaʔi(ħ) 'outdoors', nʕajʔ '(to the) outside'; cf. also nʕajʔa 'place around the house, outdoors'.
Comments: Obl. base *n(ɦ)iṭṭe- (Chech. nitta-, Ing. nitto). 5th class in Chech., Ing., 6th class in Bacb. External evidence demands some laryngeal in this root; *nɦ- should be reflected as nʕ- in Bacb., but such a combination does not exist before front vowels. We may thus think that the PN form was actually *nɦiṭṭ, but the laryngeal was lost in all modern languages.
