Proto-Georgian-Zan

Reconstruction

Uncertain.

In Georgian the loss of word-final უ̂ (û) is assumed. Mingrelian ჩენჩი (čenči), ჩვენჩვი (čvenčvi) are borrowed from Georgian, the latter possibly reflects the Georgian form before the loss of word-final უ̂ (û).

For Mingrelian *ჩქეცქვ- ← *ჩეჩუ̂- (*čkeckv- ← *čečû-) in accordance with Gamq̇reliʒe's law. The form ცქეცქვი ← *ჩქეცქვ- (ckeckvi ← *čkeckv-) undergoes regressive assimilation, while the alternative form ჩქეჩქვი ← *ჩქეცქვ- (čkečkvi ← *čkeckv-) undergoes progressive assimilation.

The original vocalism is hard to ascertain: Čuxua reconstructs *če(n)čw-, however in Mingrelian typically ა ← *ე (a ← *e) is expected, furthermore he reconstructs the root without the connection to Chveneburi Georgian ჩანჩი (čanči) and a Georgian borrowing in Laz ჩონჩი (çonçi), all of which are formally incompatible with each other in terms of vocalism.

Compare also Georgian ჩონჩო (čončo), ჩერჩი (čerči), ჩურჩი (čurči), ჩურჩა (čurča), ჩეჩქი (čečki), as well as Georgian ძენძვი (ʒenʒvi), ჯენჯი (ǯenǯi), Mingrelian ძვენძვი (ʒvenʒvi).

Armenian չանչ (čʻančʻ), չենչ (čʻenčʻ), չաչ (čʻačʻ), չեչ (čʻečʻ), Hamshen Turkish çançi, çaça, çaç, are probably related and may be Kartvelian borrowings.
