Georgian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Probably from Old Armenian *ծառափն (*caṙapʻn), from ծառ (caṙ, “tree”) + ափն (apʻn, “edge, bank”).[1] For the sense "extensive rocky outcrop" compare ქარაფი (karapi). Related to Mingrelian წირფუ (c̣irpu).
Noun
[edit]წარაფი • (c̣arapi) (plural წარაფები)
- extensive rocky outcrop
- long copse
- (Kakheti) unploughed strip between fields
- tsarapi (a wine variety from Kakheti)
Usage notes
[edit]The form წარავი (c̣aravi) found only in Čubinov 1840[2] is likely a misspelling. Later dictionaries of Čubinov have only წარაფი (c̣arapi).[3][4][5]
Derived terms
[edit]- წარაფიანი (c̣arapiani)
