Proto-West-Caucasian: *ž́ʷǝ
Meaning: 1 anger 2 hidden anger, malice 3 revenge
Abaza: gʷǝ-žʷ 2
Adyghe: gʷǝħa-gʷǝ-ź 1
Kabardian: gʷǝ-ź-ʁaź 2
Ubykh: ǵǝ-žʷ 3
Comments: The root is attested only in an old compound with *ǵʷǝ 'heart'. Cf. also Ab. gʷǝžʷ-ḳ 'anger'. In Abkh. we have a-gʷǝ-pž̌á-ra 'anger, resentment' which is obviously a later contamination of the same stem with Abkh. a-pž̌a-rá 'to tear asunder'.
