Mingrelian edit

Etymology edit

From Proto-Georgian-Zan *pol-, cognate with Georgian ფოლი (poli), ფლოქვი (plokvi, hoof), Laz ფოლო (polo, lower part of leg). It's uncertain whether Svan ფო̈ლ (pöl, hoof) is native or borrowed from another Kartvelian language.[1][2] The root is ultimately borrowed from Proto-Indo-European *pōlo- (big toe).[3]

Noun edit

ფოლო (polo) (plural ფოლოეფი)

  1. hoof
    Synonym: ჩირქე (čirke)
