ჴნდური

Old Georgian[edit]

Possibly from earlier *ჴანდური (*qanduri) (compare the descendants), from Proto-Georgian-Zan *qandur- and cognate with Laz ხუნდური (xunduri).

Compare also Svan ღედერ (ɣeder), Karachay-Balkar къудору (qudoru), Abkhaz аҟәы́д (aqʷʼə́d), Abaza къвы́д (qʷʼə́d). Abaev also compares Ingush кхе (qe), кхей (qej) (itself akin to Chechen кхоь (qö), Bats ჴოგ (qog)) which is probably unrelated.
