\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *š_ä̆mʔV ( ~ -ʡ-)
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: milk; udder
Proto-Nakh: *šim
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *š:imHu
Proto-West Caucasian: *č́ǝ
Notes: The affricatisation (š́ > č́) in PWC can be probably explained if we assume a dental prefix (č́ǝ < *T-š́ǝ, possibly of a class origin); dental prefixation is less frequent in PWC than labial prefixation, but several cases of it are attested.

    See Trubetzkoy 1930, 277 (at least the comparison of Ub. č́a and And. š:iwu is correct).
