Proto-North Caucasian: *c̣VduɫV
Meaning: a young kinsman
Notes: A Tsez-Lezg. isogloss. Since words for 'bride' in Caucasian languages are often derived from *c̣ä̆nʔV 'new' (cf. Khin. c̣ɨ-nas, Arch. mac̣at:ur), we may think that this is in fact a derivate = *c̣ä̆n-du-ɫV 'youngling', which would explain the semantic development ( > a) 'bride, bride-groom'; b) 'grandchild').
