Laz
Etymology
From ნახვ- (naxv-, “to wash”) + -უმ (-um, post-stem, Indicative imperfective marker) + -ს (-s, present tense, 3rd person and singular marker). Akin to Mingrelian ნახ-უ-ა (nax-u-a).
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈnɑxums/
- Hyphenation: ნა‧ხუმს
Verb
ნახუმს • (naxums) (Latin spelling naxums) (Atina, Vitse–Arkabi)
- to wash
ფორჩა დონაფხვი დო ქოგებოკიდი. ჰაწი სქურუნ.- porça donapxvi do kogeboǩidi. haǯi skurun.
- I washed the shirt and hung it up. It's drying now.
Usage notes
- 1st person singular imperfective present tense: ნაფხუმ (napxum), ნაფხუფ (napxup)
- Singular perfective: ნაფხვი (napxvi), ნახვი (naxvi), ნახუ (naxu)
- It is an exceptional case that the first-person signifier is in the verb stem. Some say should be said and written as *ბნახუმ (*bnaxum), *ბნახვი (*bnaxvi), etc. according to the general conjugation rules. But what's most intriguing is that these extraordinary forms are found in every region from Atina to Batumi.
