Etymology[edit]

According to Androniḳašvili, from an Iranian source, compare Middle Persian 𐫀𐫀𐫡𐫃 (ʾʾrg /⁠ārag⁠/, land, side, direction), [Book Pahlavi needed] (ʾlk' /⁠ālag⁠/),[1] from Proto-Iranian *Hárdaxš (side). Compare also Old Armenian աղագ (ałag), եղագ (ełag), which according to Ačaṙean, is the source of the Georgian word.[2] Klimov agrees with the Armenian origin of the word.[3]

Note also Kabardian лъагъуэ (lˢağʷɛ), Adyghe лъагъо (lˢağʷo).

Noun[edit]

ალაგი (alagi)

  1. trail, road, way

Usage notes[edit]

In translations, corresponds to Old Armenian շաւիղ (šawił), ճանապարհ (čanaparh), and its Armenian cognate, Old Armenian աղագ (ałag).
