Proto-West-Caucasian: *śʷasa / *śasa
Meaning: 1 bride 2 girl
Adyghe: pśāśa 2
Kabardian: pśāśa 2
Ubykh: śasá 1
Comments: PAK *pśaśá. The available forms reflect various assimilations: PAK *pśaśá < *p-śasá ( < *śʷasa with a labial prefix); in Ub., besides śasá there exists also a variant sasá (cf. also Ad. sās 'girl (as address)'. The basic variant was obviously *śʷasa (PAK *ś can only go back to a labialized *śʷ).
