Proto-North Caucasian: *bHāṭV
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: dirt, faeces
Proto-Nakh: *b(ɦ)eṭ (~-ē-)
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *baṭa (~ o)
Proto-Tsezian: *bǝṭi
Proto-Dargwa: *baIṭ-

Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. An expressive root - however, with quite satisfactory correspondences.

    In a few cases (cf. the root for "feather") labial initials get lost in Av. before a following laryngeal; if this is the case here, we could compare also Av. ħaṭ (gen. ħaṭú-l) "clay", Chad. ħaṭ (ħaṭí-l, ħaṭá-l) "dung".
