Proto-West-Caucasian: *ḳa (~ *ḳ́-)
Meaning: 1 seed, fruit-stone 2 egg
Adyghe: č̣́a
Kabardian: ǯ́adǝ-č̣a
Comments: PAK *ḳa (in Kab. preserved only within the compound "hen's seed" = "hen's egg"). Comparison with Ub. ć̣ǝ- (present in several compounds) proposed by Shagirov (1,160; 2,132) is impossible phonetically.
