Proto-North Caucasian: *ɦānx_V (~ *ʕ-)
Meaning: mountain goat; ram
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Correspondences are regular - except that we would rather expect *ǝ̃ or *ĩ, not *ã in PTs (since PN has a long vowel here). Thus it is not excluded that the PTs form was borrowed from early PA.
