North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *=iƛ̣ɨ̆lV
Meaning: thin
Notes: A common NC root with regular correspondences. Class prefixation is retained in Andian languages and Darg.; labialisation in PWC is probably also a vestige of class prefixation (*ƛ̣́ʷa < *w-iƛ̣ilV with vocalic assimilation). However, a prefixless variant *ƛ̣ɨ̆lV (reflected in Av., Lak. and PL) may also have existed already in PNC or PEC. The Lak. form has a pharyngealized vowel, which may reflect some lost laryngeal; but since other languages do not reflect it (see above about the secondary nature of pharyngealization in Tsakh.), it is probably new (expressive).
See Абдоков 1983, 141.

Proto-West-Caucasian: *ƛ̣́ʷa
Meaning: thin
Abkhaz: a-ṗá
Abaza: c̣a
Adyghe: ṗʷāč̣́a
Kabardian: ṗās.́a
Ubykh: ṗc̣a
Comments: PAT *č̣ʷa (cf. also Abaz. Ashkh. f̣a). PAK *ṗʡʷa-č̣́á. Only the second part of the PAK word corresponds to PAT *č̣ʷa and Ub. ṗc̣a (this peculiar correspondence - note that this is the only word with it, and likewise the only word in PAT with *č̣ʷ and in Abaz. with f̣!- points unambiguously to the PWC lateral *ƛ̣́ʷ). The first component is not quite clear (perhaps it's PAK *ṗʡʷa 'place' - 'having thin places'?). PAK *-č̣́a is contained also in *psǝ-n-č̣́á 'light', *za-n-č̣́á 'straight' (originally *'light and thin', 'straight and thin').

High Navarrese: lerden
Low Navarrese: lerden
Lapurdian: lirain
Zuberoan: lérdẽn
Comments: The extent of *lerde-n is uncertain: Azkue cites it as (c) (= common Bsq). The two variants seem to be the results of metathesis: *lirai-n < *ƛ̣ǝ̆lV́-, *lerde-n < *lǝ̆ƛ̣V́-, or the like. Larrasquet emphasizes that the ZBR word means 'standing upright' ('personne qui se tient droit').
