Proto-West-Caucasian: *(p)sV
Meaning: 1 to scatter 2 to sow
Abkhaz: a-ta-psa-rá 1
Abaza: ta-psa-ra 1,2
Kabardian: te-sa-n 1
Ubykh: wa-s(ǝ)- 2
Comments: PAT *pǝsa- (used only with preverbs, cf. also *ḳa-pǝsa- 'to throw, scatter'). See Shagirov 1962,53, Abdokov 1973,72, Shagirov 2,72 (with literature). In view of this etymology, the Ubykh merger with wa-s(ǝ)- 'to sit in' appears secondary.
