Protoform: *mus:VrV
Meaning: rag
Akhvakh: mos:olo (Tseg.)
Tindi: mus:ura
Comments: It is also possible that the same root is contained within PA *ƛ̣i-ns:Vr 'eyebrow' (with a variant *ƛ̣:i-ns:Vr): Av. ƛ̣:ens:ér, Chad. ƛ̣:ensér; And. lens:i-b, Akhv. ƛ̣es:e, Cham. ƛ̣:es:al, Tind. ins:ar etc. (Tind. > Inkh. esser). This is rather probable taking into consideration the meaning of the root in other NC languages. The first component of *ƛ̣i-ns:Vr can be an early contraction of PEC *ʡwĭlʡi 'eye' (*ʡli- > *ƛ̣i-) which otherwise regularly yielded PA *harHi.
