Etymology
Disputed. Perhaps a Northwest Caucasian borrowing: compare Adyghe уанэ (waane), Kabardian уанэ (waane, “saddle”), Ubykh уанагәы (wanagʷə, “the middle part of the saddle”). Alternatively, from ჰუნჱ (hunē, “horse”) + Middle Persian [script needed] (gyl- /gīr-/, “to hold, restrain”) (see Persian گرفتن (gereftan)).
Noun
უნაგირი • (unagiri)
