Reconstruction

Uncertain.

According to Fähnrich, Mingrelian ნოჯი (noǯi) suggests that Proto-Georgian-Zan *naʒ₁w- should be reconstructed instead. That would mean that Svan ნეზუ̂რა (nezûra) is borrowed from Georgian and Mingrelian ნუზუ (nuzu), a doublet of ნოჯი (noǯi), must be a very ancient borrowing from Georgian for it to undergo უ < *ო < *ა (u < *o < *a) change.

Noun

*naʒw-

  1. spruce
