Proto-Nakh[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Borrowed from Old Ossetic *sag.
It is curious that in Klaproth’s work the Bats form is represented with a final vowel.[1] But in Schiefner’s work there is no final vowel anymore.[2] Usually, in Bats, there is a reduction of the vowel at the end of the form. If this is the case, then the Bats wordform with a final vowel should go back to the Proto-Nakh form with a final vowel and be borrowed from Proto-Ossetic *sāgɨ.
Reconstruction notes[edit]
A note by Genko (1930):
Ingush sæj ‘deer’ related to Ossetian sag ‘id.’[3]
