Etymology[edit]

A Kartvelian term. One theory links it to Mingrelian ბარჩხალი (barčxali, glittering, brilliant). Another theory explains it through Mingrelian ბორჯი (borǯi, time) and ღალი (ɣali, take; walk), therefore resulting in "passage of time".

Noun[edit]

ბორჯღალი (borǯɣali) (plural ბორჯღალები)

  1. A Georgian symbol of the Sun that is regarded as a symbol of their national identity
