I gave below the Ossetic cognates to those words I could
recognize. For some of those that I couldn't, I offered
words with similar form and meaning merely as suggestions.
Each of the latter sort is followed by a question mark.
Some of these words are likely to be turkic, especially
Cumanian. I've uploaded a file named "Ossetic" to the
files section which shows the transliteration scheme I
use, and the pronunciation.
