\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *gašē (/*šēga)
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: hunger
Proto-Lak: k:aši
Proto-Dargwa: *k:aši
Proto-Lezghian: *k:aša
Proto-West Caucasian: *č́ǝga ( ~ -k:-)
Notes: Lak. k:aši may be borrowed from Darg. (or vice versa), but may be also genuine. PWC has, as in some other cases, an affricate corresponding to a PEC fricative: this must be explained by a historical dental prefix (*č́ǝga < *T-š́ǝga).

    An interesting common NC root, attested also in other geographically close families (cf. Sum. šàgar 'hunger' [cf. especially the PWC form], Hitt. kast, Afroasiatic: Sem. *gŝʕ, Cush. *gaʔaĉ-).
