Usage notes

edit

This word is usually used in plural, given that there are two tonsils in the human mouth, and in most, if not all cases, both are affected when there is a medical need. Despite the resemblance with the English word gland, the latter is usually translated as ჯირკვალი (ǯirḳvali) and not გლანდი (glandi).
