Etymology

Probably formed as лъэ (lˢɛ, “foot”) +‎ *гъуэ (*ğʷɛ, “road”), the latter found inside гъуэ-гу (ğʷɛ-gʷu). Cognate with Adyghe лъагъо (lˢağʷo).

Abkhaz а-ҭлаҩа (a-tlajʷa), Abaza тлагӏва (tˡaʻʷa) are Circassian borrowings. The Abkhaz alago (“footpath”), found only in Erckert, is likewise considered a Circassian borrowing.

The nature of relationship with Old Georgian ალაგი (alagi, “trail, road, way”) is uncertain.

  1. trail, track, path
