\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *ɦüǯwĀ
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: sharp, to sharpen
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *bižun
Proto-Tsezian: *ʔãč-
Proto-Lezghian: *ʡeč:ʷa-
Proto-West Caucasian: *č:ʷa-nǝ
Notes: The etymology is both phonetically and semantically secure. Not quite clear is the origin of PTs nasalisation (just as in another case, PEC *ʔiǯwVr 'lick' > PTs *=ãč-). Andian languages reflect only a deverbal noun (with a frequent circumfix *b- -n).
