ˁážeʰ - 1. woman; 2. wife (LS 307; CSOL I 505; CSOL II 421)

Proto-MSA
*γayg- - man (Kogan 2015:543)
The origin is obscure. Undoubtedly connected with the verbal root *γyg ‘to give birth’, but it is hard to say whether the verb – in any case, similarly obscure from the etymological point of view – is denominative or vice versa (cf. Müller 1909b:351‒354) (Kogan 2015:543)
