მდელოჲ

Old Georgian edit

Etymology edit

From Proto-Armenian *deło (“vegetation, grass, herb”), the ancestor of Old Armenian դեղ (deł), genitive դեղոյ (dełoy).^[1]^[2]^[3]

If, however, this word is cognate with Mingrelian დოლო (dolo), ნდოლო (ndolo), then Proto-Georgian-Zan *dol- is reconstructible, whose vocalism is incompatible with the Armenian. For the rare cases of umlaut in Georgian, see Sarǯvelaʒe.^[4]

Noun edit

მდელოჲ • (mdeloy)

grass
soap

Usage notes edit

In translations, corresponds to Old Armenian խոտ (xot), դալար (dalar), դեղ (deł), օճառ (ōčaṙ) and բանջար (banǰar).

Derived terms edit

მდელოვანი (mdelovani)
მდელოჲსმძოარი (mdeloysmʒoari)

Descendants edit
