North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *G_winʡV (~ -ħ-,-ʕ-)
Meaning: village; house
Notes: The etymology seems reliable semantically and phonetically (although the PN vowel length is not quite clear: the PWC form presupposes a short PNC vowel). All other parallels suggested for the PWC form meet serious phonetic obstacles (Trubetzkoy's [1930, 278] comparison with Chech. ben 'nest' etc.; Lomtatidze's [1955] comparison with Old Georg. saq̇udeli, Megr. ʕude, Av. ruq̇: 'house'; Abdokov's [1983, 133] comparison with obvious late loanwords like Gunz. bina 'building' etc.). The Georgian form wani 'house, dwelling', cited by Charaya (1912) and Bouda (1950) is most probably an Adygh loan.

Proto-West-Caucasian: *ʁ́Iʷǝna
Meaning: house
Abkhaz: a-ʕʷnǝ́
Abaza: ʕʷna
Adyghe: wǝna
Kabardian: wǝna
Comments: PAT *ʕʷǝnV; PAK *wǝná. It is impossible to compare Ub. ʁʷǝnǝ 'tree' - both for semantic and phonetic reasons (within the correspondence PAT *ʕʷ : PAK *w < PWC *ʁ́Iʷ we would expect w- in Ub.). Unacceptable is Kuipers' attempt (Kuipers 1960) to regard the PAK form as a compound.
