[edit]Hi @კვარია,
Is it really plausible that Gurians presumably centuries ago were in contact with Italian and knowledgeable enough about it to discern the literal sense of pomodoro? Nicodene (talk) 17:09, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- Obv. implausible. I meant it as "ultimately calque of". :) კვარია (talk) 17:54, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Nicodene, კვარია: according to Kavtaradze's article here on page 336, tomatoes were first introduced by Italian missionaries via Akhaltsikhe. Hence the calque is not implausible. Vahag (talk) 17:59, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- Fascinating. Thank you for finding this. Nicodene (talk) 18:16, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
