The attestation of this word is in the Old Georgian Bible, Judges 4:18. @Simboyd, care to find it and add to the entry? The meaning too should be clarified. I find the following glosses for this word: “clothing”, “hem of a long dress”, “covering (made of skins)”, “tent covering”. --Vahag (talk) 16:03, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

 Done. Unfortunately, I don't possess any Old Georgian dictionary other than Abuladze, where it is defined as "niqab", "clothing" and "tent covering". In Orbeliani's dictionary (c. 17th century) it is too defined as "tent covering". --Simboyd (talk) 18:36, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. Čubinov has 2 more attestations. The best way to determine a meaning of a word in a dead language is to deduce it from a passage, especially comparing the meaning in the original text. --Vahag (talk) 19:16, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
