Alternative forms edit
Etymology edit
Unknown.
Čuxua connects it with Adyghe атакъэ (ataqɛ, “rooster, cock”), Kabardian адакъэ (adaqɛ), Ubykh táqa.[1] Note however that these forms are traditionally reconstructed as Proto-Northwest Caucasian *t:aq:a (“cock, rooster”),[2][3] but Mingrelian ჸ ← *ყ (ʾ ← *q̇) cannot go back to *q and specifically Kabardian borrowings are unknown in Mingrelian.
A relation with Turkic is phonetically difficult, but compare Ottoman Turkish طاوق (tavuq, “fowl, hen”).
