Ossetian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Uncertain.
Abaev derives from Circassian: compare Kabardian пщэ (pśɛ), Adyghe пшъэ (pŝɛ, “neck”).[1]
Alternatively, according to Bailey, we are dealing with a native term from Proto-Iranian and ultimately Proto-Indo-European, with a cognate in Sanskrit अप्सस् (ápsas).[2][3][4][5]
Compare also Old Armenian աւձի-ք (awji-kʻ, “collar”).
Noun[edit]
- neck (part of body connecting the head and the trunk)
- (transferred sense) mountain pass
