Mingrelian

Etymology

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. The root is ultimately borrowed from Proto-Indo-European *pōlo- (“big toe”).
