Proto-Nakh: *šo
Meaning: span
Chechen: ša
Ingush: šu
Batsbi: še
Comments: 4th class in Chech., 6th class in Ing., 3d class in Bacb. We must reconstruct two variants for PN: *še (reflected in Bacb.) and *šo ( > Ing. šu). The vowel of the obl. base *ša-ni- ( > Chech. še-n) in Chech. had influenced the direct base (instead of šo it became ša). The variation *šo / *še in PN perhaps should be explained by a special development of early PN *šʷe ( < PEC *č̣wimħV).
