Etymology

Related to Laz მგერი (mgeri) and Old Georgian მგელი (mgeli). According to Klimov's earlier work, from Proto-Georgian-Zan *mgel- (wolf), he however remarks that in Mingrelian-Laz *მგარ- (*mgar-) is expected. In Klimov's more recent works, he no longer reconstructs Proto-Georgian-Zan. If that's correct, then this word should be treated as a borrowing from Old Georgian მგელი (mgeli) (itself possibly from Armenian, for which compare Old Armenian գայլ (gayl)).

Noun

გერი (geri) (plural გერეფი)

  1. wolf
