Proto-North Caucasian: *ʕārś_wɨ̄
Meaning: strap, leather rope
Proto-West Caucasian: *š:ʷa Notes: Correspondences are regular. See Dumézil 1933, 21, Abdokov 1983, 132. The latter also adds PAK *śaʁá (Ad., Kab. śāʁa) 'braid, lace' - which, however, has an obscure morphological structure and does not correspond phonetically to other WC forms.
