Protoform: *ʔimʔV
Meaning: 1 moisture 2 whey 3 rennet infusion
Avar: maħá 1
Akhvakh: ĩʔi / ĩʔĩ 2
Chamalal: ēʔa (Bokarev) 3
Comments: The Cham. form (cited from Bokarev) is most probably a misspelling of *ẽʔa. Av. maħá regularly < *ʔimħá. Cf. perhaps also Tind. huna- 'liquid' ( < *ʔʷinha- ?). The root also functions as a verb: Av. =iʔVn- (Chad. =iʕVn-) 'to thaw, melt, dissolve', And. =iʔun-, Akhv. =iʔun- id.
