Talk:კირი

• The direction "Georgian <= Armenian <= Old Armenian" is to much doubtful, but at this very moment it's ok.

Regarding to Laz, it can't be from armenian, because the world is used only in Chkhala (Laz.: ჩხალა, Tr.: Düzköy) subdialect of Hopa dialect (with a huge influence of literary language/Georgian on it) and isn't attested in any other dialects. Atina-Artasheni dialect (with Vija subdialect) uses "ჩერეჭი" (t͡ʃeret͡ʃʼi), Vitze-Arkabi and Hopa itself uses "ქერეჭი" (keret͡ʃʼi). Both from turkish "kireç". - Abkhazian1 (talk) 22:58, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

Ačaṙean does not say Laz is directly from Armenian. He says all the Caucasian words were ultimately mediated by Armenian. There is no other root for a Semitic word to appear in the Caucasus. --Vahag (talk) 08:11, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

• Nice, but the article says: Laz კირი ... "From Armenian կիր ‎(kir, “lime”)..." - Abkhazian1 (talk) 19:44, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
  • The wording "from Armenian" does not mean directly from Armenian. If you know the director source, add it. --Vahag (talk) 07:45, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
    • I did. Also, thank you for adding ქერეჭი. - Abkhazian1 (talk) 13:01, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
      • Good. Bats კირ (ḳir) too must be from Georgian. Also the Chechen and Ingush words. --Vahag (talk) 14:04, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
        • So, Chechen and Ingush words need some editions. I'm bad at it; Saw კირ (ḳir). Looks good. - Abkhazian1 (talk) 22:00, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
          • I don't want to touch Chechen and Ingush before I have source. --Vahag (talk) 06:35, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
            • Yes, it's easy to understand. - Abkhazian1 (talk) 14:25, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
