Etymology

Unknown.

Čuxua connects it with Adyghe атакъэ (ataqɛ, “rooster, cock”), Kabardian адакъэ (adaqɛ), Ubykh táqa. Note however that these forms are traditionally reconstructed as Proto-Northwest Caucasian *t:aq:a (“cock, rooster”), but Mingrelian ჸ ← *ყ (ʾ ← *q̇) cannot go back to *q and specifically Kabardian borrowings are unknown in Mingrelian.

A relation with Turkic is phonetically difficult, but compare Ottoman Turkish طاوق (tavuq, “fowl, hen”).

Noun

დოჸია • (doʾia)

  1. hen under two-five months
    Synonyms: დადულია (dadulia), ვარიჸა (variʾa)
