Tabasaran: mizmiz 1
Agul: mizmiz 1 (Bursh.)
Rutul: zübez 4
Tsakhur: bɨzbɨza 2 (Tsakh.)

Comment: 3d class in Tsakh. and Arch. Cf. also Tab. Düb. mizmizi 'fly'. The Tsakh., Rut. and Arch. forms are irregularly transformed (the Arch. form probably experienced the influence from PL *c:imc: 'ant' q.v., although the reflex z clearly shows that it belongs to PL *mizmiza).
