şawdan
/ʃawdan/
mainly Balkar word
spring, natural source of water — Before another noun it means "spring-", as in şawdan suw spring water. Both Tenishev and Suyunchev 1989 and Suyunchev and Urusbiev 1965 mark the word as Balkar, and the second gives közlew and qara suw as the Karachay equivalents; the other dictionaries do not mark it.
