Reconstruction:Proto-Nakh/borš
Appearance
Proto-Nakh
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Borrowed from Iranian (see Proto-Iranian *(w)ŕ̥šā). Compare Alanic *wurs (“stallion”) and also Proto-Finnic *varsa (“a foal, in particular a male one”).[1][2]
Nikolaev & Starostin (1994) believe that Nakh form goes back to Proto-Northeast Caucasian, but their reconstruction contains irregular correspondences. Nichols (2003)[3] is mistaken in the meaning of the Ingush form.[4] Schrijver (2021) compares the Ingush adjective[5][6] with the Bats and Chechen noun, which, apparently, is a mistake, since there is a corresponding Chechen adjective.[7]
