ლუდი
Georgian
[edit]Alternative forms
[edit]Etymology
[edit]According to Abaev, borrowed from Ossetian *ӕлут (*ælut) (see ӕлутон (æluton)); ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂elut-. That brewing among Georgians has only been popular among highlanders neighbouring Ossetians, coupled with the fact that beer plays a central part in Alanic life and folklore may be a good indicator of the borrowing.
