Ossetian

Etymology

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

ӕфцӕг • (æfcæg) (Iron, Digor)
