\data\cauc\caucet
Proto-North Caucasian: *sV̆rV
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: grey
Proto-Nakh: *sire(-n)
Proto-Tsezian: *zerV ( ~ z:-,-l-)
Notes: A Nakh-Tsez. isogloss. Although similar colour names exist in other linguistic families (cf. Russ. серый < Slav. *xĕrъ, Mong. sira 'yellow'), the EC root seems to be genuine (neither the PN nor the Tsez. form can be explained by borrowing).
