Old Georgian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Together with the synonymous Old Armenian հարճ (harč) probably borrowed from Middle Iranian. See the Armenian entry for more.
For the Old Georgian ხ (x) ~ Old Armenian հ (h) alternation Ačaṙean compares ხაშმი (xašmi) ~ հաշմ (hašm), ხარკი (xarḳi) ~ հարկ (hark), გლეხი (glexi) ~ գռեհ (gṙeh),[1] all Iranian borrowings.
Less likely borrowed from a Northeast Caucasian language, compare: Andi гьорчӏчӏи (horččʼi, “female, wife”) (← *гьоркӏкӏи (*horkkʼi)), Chamalal гьаш (haš, “id.”), Botlikh гьакки (hakki, “id.”), Tindi гьаккуй (hak̄uj, “id.”), Avar гӏоркӏкӏен (ʻorkkʼen, “sheep”),[2][3] all ultimately from Proto-Avaro-Andian *horḳ:ʷa-.[4]
