Proto-North Caucasian: *Hƛ̣wĭnV̄
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: winter; year
Proto-Nakh: *ʔaχḳV
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *ƛ̣:inV
Proto-Tsezian: *ƛɨ
Proto-Lak: ḳʷi
Proto-Dargwa: *ɣa(ni)
Proto-Khinalug: ḳina-ž
Proto-West Caucasian: *ƛ̣́ʷǝ
Notes: Correspondences are regular, and the etymology seems quite reliable. The original meaning is certainly 'winter'; the meaning 'summer' in PN comes from the intermediate stage 'year' (cf. the meanings in Tsezian languages).

    See Trubetzkoy 1922,241 (for EC). Abdokov (1983, 91) proposes a different comparison for EC: PWC *bž́V 'winter, autumn', which seems impossible for phonetic reasons.
