Protoform: *č̣umV, *č̣im-iχ:V
Meaning: 1 bead 2 small stone
Avar: č̣um 1, č̣imíχ: 2
Akhvakh: č̣ĩχ:i 2
Godoberi: č̣imiχ 2
Comments: Av. č̣um has paradigm C or A (pl. č̣úma-l); č̣imíχ: has paradigm C (č̣inχ:í-l, č̣ínχ:a-l). Cf. also Akhv. Tlan. č̣iχ:i, Ratl. č̣imiχ:i. The God. form may be borrowed from Avar (in any case, God. -χ is most probably a misspelling instead of -χ:). Av. č̣imíχ: and the Andian forms contain an expressive suffix -Vχ:.
Av. > Arch. č̣imiχI 'road-metal', Gunz. č̣imiχ 'small stone'.
