Bezhta
Etymology
According to Khalilov, from *лъацери ← *сацери (*lˢaceri ← *saceri), from Georgian საცერი (saceri).[1]
Note however that the Georgian word itself was umlauted from earlier *სა-ცარ- (*sa-car-), from Proto-Georgian-Zan *lʿa-car-, where *lʿ (not preserved in any of the daughter Kartvelian languages) is believed to have been /ɬ/, which corresponds exactly to Bezhta лъ (lˢ), as such the borrowing could have occurred at a much earlier date.
Note also Chechen цац (cac, “sieve”), Ingush цаца (caca), Bats ცაც (cac), all possibly borrowed from Proto-Georgian-Zan *car- : *cr- (“to sieve”), the same ultimate source.
Noun
лъацар • (lˢacar)
- sieve, sifter, strainer
