Proto-West-Caucasian: *jaɣ́a
Meaning: ashes
Adyghe: jāž́a
Kabardian: jāźa
Comments: PAK *jaž́á. The word has no PAT or Ub. parallels, but reliable correspondences in PEC - thus the inner PAK etymology proposed in Шагиров 1, 169 (ja- - same as in *jaṭa 'clay, dirt', -ž́a - related to PAK *ž́ǝ 'wind, air') seems less convincing.
