Etymology
[edit]Literally, ‘mouth's tail’, from жэ (žɛ, “mouth”) + кӏэ (kʼɛ, “tail”). Cognate with Kabardian жьакӏэ (źakʼɛ). The word may be reconstructible at the Proto-Circassian level as *žāḳ’ā /ʒaːkʼʲa/.
Abkhaz а-жакьа (a-ẑakʲʼa), Abaza жакӏьа (žakʲʼa), Ubykh жаакьа (ẑaakʲʼa, “beard”) are borrowed from Circassian languages. See the first for more.
Iron Ossetian за́чъе (záḱ’e, “beard”), Digor Ossetian закъӕ (zak’æ, “beard”), зекъӕ (zek’æ, “chin”), Mingrelian ბჟაკე (bžaḳe, “beard”) are borrowed from Northwest Caucasian languages.
