Old Georgian

Etymology

According to Androniḳašvili, from an Iranian source, compare Middle Persian 𐫀𐫀𐫡𐫃 (ʾʾrg /ārag/, land, side, direction), [Book Pahlavi needed] (ʾlk' /ālag/),[1] from Proto-Iranian *Hárdaxš (side). Compare also Old Armenian աղագ (ałag), եղագ (ełag), which according to Ačaṙean, is the source of the Georgian word.[2] Klimov agrees with the Armenian origin of the word.[3]

Note also Kabardian лъагъуэ (lˢaağʷe), Adyghe лъагъо (lˢaağʷo).

Noun

ალაგი (alagi)

  1. trail, road, way

Usage notes

In translations, corresponds to Old Armenian շաւիղ (šawił), ճանապարհ (čanaparh), and its Armenian cognate, Old Armenian աղագ (ałag).
