Proto-North Caucasian: *ʡădV
Meaning: naked; bare, empty
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The stem *HădV- (reduplicated in Darg.) may be somehow related to *HăṭV-, reflected in Akhv. aṭe-da and, possibly, PGB *š-aṭ- / *z-aṭ- (with expressive prefixes) 'naked' (Bezht. Tlad. šäṭṭö, Khosh. šäṭijo, Gunz. zaṭṭu).
