Proto-Nakh: *bɦāṭ
Meaning: 1 duck 2 goose
Chechen: bad 1
Batsbi: baṭ 2
Comments: Obl. base *bɦāṭi- (*bɦāṭe-), cf. Chech. bēda-. 4th class in Chech., 5th class in Bacb. Cf. dialectal forms: Cheb. bād (bāde-), Shar. bʕād (bʕāda-), Khild. bʕād (bʕēde-) etc. The medial laryngeal does not allow to consider the Nakh forms as loanwords from Georg. baṭi 'goose' (a reverse direction of borrowing is more probable).
