Georgian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Possibly from უ- (u-) + შნო (šno) or შნო (šno) + უ- -ო (u- -o).
Shanidze, on the other hand, derives it directly from the old root -შუენ- (compare შვენება (šveneba)) with circumfix უ- -ო (u- -o): უ-შნ-ო < *უ-შვნ-ო < *უ-შუენ-ო. Compare the antonym მშვენიერი (mšvenieri).
Pronunciation
[edit]Adjective
[edit]indeclinable
უშნო • (ušno) (comparative უფრო უშნო, superlative ყველაზე უშნო)
