\data\cauc\abadet
Proto-West-Caucasian: *ć̣aḳa / *ḳać̣a
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: 1 bug 2 nit
Abkhaz: a-ḳac̣á 1
Abaza: ḳac̣a 1
Adyghe: c̣āč̣́a 2
Kabardian: c̣ač̣a 2
Comments: PAT *ḳać̣a (cf. also Bz. a-ḳać̣á); PAK *c̣aḳá. The meaning of the PAK form could have been influenced by its folk-etymological analysis as 'louse' (*c̣a) + 'egg' (*ḳa), but external parallels leave no doubt that the bisyllabic structure is here original.
