նեխ

Etymology
Usually considered a word of origin. Attempts to derive from 🇨🇬  are unconvincing, as that root would rather yield  in Armenian.

Possibly a borrowing: compare 🇨🇬, for which a native Kartvelian origin has been proposed. Alternatively, the Kartvelian and Armenian terms are borrowed from a third unidentified source.

Noun

 * 1) putrefaction, rottenness

Adjective
