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.[1][2] The root is ultimately borrowed from Proto-Indo-European *pōlo- (“big toe”).[3]

Noun

ფოლო • (polo) (plural ფოლოეფი)

  1. hoof
    Synonym: ჩირქე (čirke)
