Ingush

[edit]Etymology
[edit]Uncertain. Has been identified with homonymous дийхк (diı̇xk), дихк (dixk, “liver”), supposedly because of its internal structure — while decaying and drying out the tree resembles the liver in color,[1] but this is probably a folk etymology. Compare Old Armenian դղքի (dłkʻi, “maple”).
Noun
[edit]дийхк • (diı̇xk)
