თოკი

თოკი

Georgian

Alternative forms

• თოკვი (toḳvi) – Imerkhevi, Racha[1][2]

Etymology

Uncertain. Proto-Georgian-Zan *toḳ- is reconstructible, compare Mingrelian თოკი (toḳi) and Laz თოკი (toǩi), თოჭი (toç̌i), (მ)თუკი ((m)tuǩi), თიჭი (tiç̌i). For Laz vocalism compare the Zan descendants of Proto-Georgian-Zan *kor-. Mainstream Kartvelian literature is seemingly unaware of this root however.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /tʰokʼi/
• Hyphenation: თო‧კი

Noun

თოკი • (toḳi) (plural თოკები)

1. rope, cord
