Proto-North Caucasian: *c̣_ǝ̄mbi
Meaning: god; mercy
Notes: An interesting term (reconstructed for the PEC level). Phonetic correspondences are regular (except for vocalic reflexes in Darg. and Lak., which are usual for contexts with labialised consonants; perhaps we should attribute it to the proximity of labial -m-). Cf. also Hurr. aʒammi 'image, figure' (= 'idol'), see Diakonoff-Starostin 1986, 22.
