Old Georgian
Etymology
Akin to Mingrelian ღვედი (ɣvedi), Laz ღვედი (ğvedi), Svan ღუ̂ედ (ɣûed). According to Klimov from Proto-Georgian-Zan *ɣwed- (or Proto-Kartvelian if Svan wasn't borrowed from Georgian). For the preservation of -ვე- (-ve-) in Zan instead of the expected -ვა- (-va-) (~ -ო- (-o-)) compare Zan გვერი (gveri) ← Proto-Georgian-Zan *gwel-.
J̌ahukyan further compares to Old Armenian գաւտի (gawti, “girdle, belt”) and to Proto-Indo-European *wedʰ- (“to bind”), whence for example Welsh gwedd (“yoke”). For the sound correspondence of the Anlaut compare Old Georgian ღჳნო (ɣwino), ღჳვი (ɣwivi).
