Proto-North Caucasian: *=āmʒŬ
Meaning: to milk; to drink
Proto-West Caucasian: *zʷA Notes: An important common NC root. Note the recurring nominal derivates with the meaning 'milch cow', 'cow' both in EC and WC languages (cf. Trubetzkoy 1930, 277, Abdokov 1983, 117). In PA the verbal root itself was not preserved (it would have been *-azVn- / *zVn-), but the derivate remained. Another probable derivate from the same root is attested in Av. Chad. ʕenžér (the lit. form would be enzer ~ ʕenzer) 'enclosure for milking sheep' (= Ag. azal id.), whence loans in Tsezian languages: Bezht. enzel, Gunz. ʕenzer.
