ზეგ

Georgian

Etymology

From Old Georgian ზეგე (zege), ზეგ (zeg), possibly from post-Classical Old Armenian *զէգ (*zēg): compare Old Armenian զայգոյ (zaygoy, till tomorrow), from այգ (ayg, morning).[1][2] Note that Classical Old Armenian -այ- (-ay-) regularly develops into -է- (-ē-) before consonants in Middle Armenian and the Eastern dialects, a process whose start is sporadically attested already in Old Armenian.

Alternatively, from ზე (ze, on) + დღჱ (dɣē, day).[3]
