Protoform: *ʔiχʷVn-

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: to grind

Avar: χ:ené-

Chadakolob: χen-

Andian language: ʔiχʷo-qi-

Tindi: χʷan-

Comments: The And. form reflects "stem I" (with a not quite clear suffix or lexical component -qi-); Av. and Tind. reflect "stem II" (note the correspondence Av. χ:(ʷ) : And. χ(ʷ) typical for reflexes of the EC *χ(w) in tense words). There are several archaic derivates:

1) PA *χʷobu (*ʔiχʷobu) 'mill': Av. hobó (habí-l, habá-l, Chad. hubí-l, habá-l); And. iχʷob; Akhv. χʷaba; Cham. χʷab (Gig. χobu); Tind. χʷabu; Kar. χabu (Anch. χʷaba, Tok. hobu); Botl. χʷabu; Bagv. hʷab (Tlis. χʷab); God. χʷabu. Note that Av. here reveals a h-reflex (old dialectal variation of χ: and *χ > h).

2) PA *χʷor- (oblique base in the archaic paradigm of *χʷobu): Akhv. Tlan. plur. χel-ar, Kar. Anch. plur. χʷar-e, Bagv. (obl. stem) hʷar-.

Also derived from this root is Av. χ:árab 'meal, flour' (it could be united with PA *χʷor-, but the meaning and external evidence show that these are two different derivates).
