Proto-Kartvelian

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Usually considered a borrowing from Proto-Indo-European *wéyh₁ō.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. However, the nature of relationship with it, as well as with Proto-West Semitic *wayn-, Aghwan 𐕔𐔼 (fi), Bats ვეჼ (vẽ), and the first part of Hattic [script needed] (finduqqaram, “wine-bearer”) may be more complicated.[9][10][11][12][13]

According to many, the borrowing occured via the (Pre-)Proto-Armenian ancestor of Old Armenian գինի (gini, “wine”), genitive գինւոյ (ginwoy), variously reconstructed as *ɣʷeinyo-, *ɣʷino- or *gwīníyo-.[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] Martirosyan describes the sound change Proto-Indo-European *w → Proto-Armenian *ɣʷ → Kartvelian *ɣw as impeccable[24] and observes it also in Proto-Indo-European *wi(H)- → Proto-Armenian *ɣʷi- (→ Old Armenian գի (gi, “juniper”)) → Proto-Kartvelian *ɣwiw-. According to others, however, the term was borrowed directly from Proto-Indo-European;[2] for example, Klimov (1998) agrees with the ultimate Proto-Indo-European origin of the word but denies derivation from Old Armenian գինի (gini), citing Diakonoff: "It cannot go back to Armenian gini because the change *w → g probably must have been accomplished there long before the first Kartvelian-Armenian contacts in the 7th–6th centuries B.C.".

Fähnrich, rejecting the Indo-European origin considered the word to be a native South Caucasian formation derived from the Proto-Kartvelian verbal root *ɣun- (“to bend”) (whence Georgian ღუნვა (ɣunva), გადაღუნავს (gadaɣunavs), etc).[30]

Even though agrohistorians regard the Caucasus and vicinity as the cradle of grape-growing and winemaking, this has not prevented Kartvelians from borrowing wine-related terminology from Indo-Europeans, for example in the cases of Proto-Georgian-Zan *wenaq- and Old Georgian ვაზი (vazi).

The ending of Svan ღვინ-ელ (ɣvin-el), ღვინ-ა̈ლ (ɣvin-äl) represents a petrified diminutive affix.

Reconstruction notes

[edit]

If Svan ღუ̂ინელ (ɣûinel), ღუ̂ინა̈ლ (ɣûinäl) is borrowed from Georgian, then *ɣwino- is reconstructible only to the Proto-Georgian-Zan stage.
