[edit]Reconstruction
[edit]Fähnrich-Sarǯvelaʒe reconstruct Proto-Georgian-Zan *c̣wer-, according to their reconstruction Georgian and Mingrelian are regular matches of each other.
Klimov on the other hand reconstructs Proto-Georgian-Zan *c̣₁wer-, according to his reconstruction Mingrelian წვანჯი (c̣vanǯi) is irregular: ჭ (č̣) is expected from c̣₁; furthermore he tentatively links here Svan უ̂ა̈რე (ûäre, “beard”), which if proven to be correct Proto-Kartvelian is reconstructible.
According to Topuria, Klimov, and Čuxua, Georgian წ (c̣) ~ Svan Ø ~ ჰ ← *ჭ (Ø ~ h ← *č̣) correspondence goes back to former *c̣₁, compare: Georgian წვირე (c̣vire, “dirt, filth, manure”) against Svan უ̂ერ (ûer, “earth, mud”),[2] Georgian წივ-ილ-ი (c̣iv-il-i, “squealing, screeching”) against Svan ი-უ̂ელ-იელ (i-ûel-iel, “meowing, wailing”),[3] Old Georgian მ-რწ-ემ-ი (m-rc̣-em-i, “junior”) against Svan მა-ჰუ̂რ-ე̄ნ-ე (ma-hûr-ēn-e, “id.”),[4] Georgian წად-ილ-ი (c̣ad-il-i, “wish, desire”) against Svan ლი-ჰდ-უ̂-ი (li-hd-û-i, “id.”).[5]
