Proto-North Caucasian: *Hʒ́_ĕmɨ̄ ( ~ -ū)
Meaning: butter, curds
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The PN and PL forms correspond well to each other; the Gin. and Khin. forms, however, raise some doubts (the Gin. form has irregular vocalism and final -n; in Khin. one would rather expect a form like *č̣im).
