Proto-Georgian-Zan[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Klimov derives from Proto-Indo-European *wérsēn (male, ram) (whence Latin verrēs (boar), Ancient Greek ἄρσην (ársēn, male), Ossetian уырс (wyrs, stallion)).

On the other hand J̌ahukyan and Martirosyan prefer an Armenian origin: compare Old Armenian որձ (orj, male), յորձ (yorj, ram).

Root[edit]

*werʒ₁-

  1. male, ram

Descendants[edit]

  • Old Georgian: ვერძი (verʒi)
    • Georgian: ვერძი (verʒi)
