Proto-North Caucasian: *ɦnɨ̄c̣_́(w)ĭ
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: a small bird
Proto-Nakh: *ħāc̣u
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *Hinč̣:V
Proto-Dargwa: *hunuc̣
Proto-Lezghian: *nɨc̣ʷ(a)
Proto-West Caucasian: *ć̣ǝ
Notes: PWC reflects the root with loss of labialisation; otherwise all the correspondences are regular. The root was obviously denoting a small bird in PNC; the shift to "eagle" in PD is a result of development "small bird" > "bird (in general)" (as in some Lezg. languages) > "bird par excellence" = "eagle". In any case the Darg. form is impossible to separate from this root.
