This Proto-Tsezian entry contains reconstructed words and roots. As such, the term(s) in this entry are not directly attested, but are hypothesized to have existed based on comparative evidence.

Proto-Tsezian

Etymology

Cognate with Proto-Avaro-Andian *ħarHi (“eye”).

Reconstruction notes

The proto-form of the West Tsezian is reconstructed as *ʔözʷǝʀ[ə]. Apparently, this is a contamination of a former direct stem *ʔöʀ[ə], cf. East Tsezian *hare, and oblique stem *ʔözʷe-. In this way it is possible to reconstruct the second oblique stem for Proto-Tsezian *ħɔzʷe-.
