Proto-Tsezian: *buhV B

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: bull-calf

Tsezi: moħo-di

Ginukh: boju

Gunzib: buhi-do

Comments: PTsKh *bohV- (or rather *bu_hV-, if Tsez. moħo-di is an assimilation < meħo-di; this would better correspond to Gunz. buhido). One can also note Bezht. büʁüdä 'bull-calf' - obviously < *bühüdä under the influence of the Turkic loanword buʁa 'bull'. The Tsez. languages reflect suffixed forms *buhV-dV and *buhV-ju. Nasalisation and pharyngealisation in Tsez. are probably expressive and secondary.

Proto-Tsezian: *bü-šɔ̃ḳ-la

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: beard, moustache

Tsezi: mešogla

Ginukh: bošolḳa

Comments: Tsez. dialects have different variants: (Imnaishvili) mešogla/mešolga, Sh., Kid. mešolga, Kh. mešoḳla. -g- instead of -ḳ- in these dialectal forms is probably a result of old assimilation (even before the unvoicing of *ʒ́ > š). Initial *bü- (< *bi-) in this stem is obviously a result of contamination with another PTs root, *bišal- 'beard' q.v.
