Proto-West-Caucasian: *ǵaǵa/*ǵʷaǵwa
Meaning: 1 ring 2 circle
Abkhaz: a-gʷargʷaléj 1
Abaza: ǵaǵa 2
Comments: Cf. also Abkh. Bz. a-gʷagʷaléj / a-gʷagʷaréj 'ring', a-ǵargalás 'ring made of twisted branches', Abaz. ǵaǵa-ra 'to roll, turn round'. Reflected are variants *ǵa(r)ǵa and *gʷa(r)gʷa which are hard to separate from each other. Since there are no AK or Ub. parallels, we can assume both *ǵ (*ǵʷ) and *ḱ: (*ḱ:ʷ) in PWC.
