, can the endings of, beside  be explained within Georgian? --Vahag (talk) 15:41, 20 March 2022 (UTC)


 * First one could be compound . Second one I'm not sure, none of the senses of fit კვარია (talk) 15:48, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
 * UPD. The compound idea is maybe a little bit suspect. Furthermore the word exists in Laz according to both Maqashvili and Tandilava. AND it seems like is a Nakh borrowing.


 * Besides the semi-science-fictional Diakonoff-Starostin reconstruction, Nakh-Dagestani words are grouped together by more grounded linguists. For example Xalilov (he's using the more dialectal meaning of Georgian word, taken from Ghlonti, because the one in GED is more specific).


 * Xalilov basically condensed the two dialectal meanings listed Ghlonti in into one basic idea. So anyway, in  Pshavian dialect: "lime-tree bark (in general); bast of elms" (Ghlonti used here the word  in the meaning of "bast" rather than Caucasian wingnut). Khevsur is "rope, tether".


 * So with that you'd have to think when this word entered Eastern dialectal of Georgians, then standard dialects, and THEN spread to Laz, sounds a little bit difficult. კვარია (talk) 06:42, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
