Proto-Nakh

Etymology

Borrowed from Old Ossetic *sag.

It is curious that in Klaproth’s work the Bats form is represented with a final vowel. But in Schiefner’s work there is no final vowel anymore. 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.
