Kabardian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Probably formed as лъэ (lˢɛ, “foot”) +‎ *гъуэ (*ğʷɛ, “road”), the latter found inside гъуэ-гу (ğʷɛ-gʷu). Cognate with Adyghe лъагъо (lˢağʷo).

Abkhaz а-ҭлаҩа (a-tlajʷa), Abaza тлагӏва (tˡaʻʷa) are Circassian borrowings. The Abkhaz alago (“footpath”), found only in Erckert,[1] is likewise considered a Circassian borrowing.[2]

The nature of relationship with Old Georgian ალაგი (alagi, “trail, road, way”) is uncertain.

Noun[edit]

лъагъуэ • (lˢağʷɛ)

  1. trail, track, path
  2. direction, orientation
  3. (figuratively) life's journey, trajectory of life
  4. (figuratively) the way to someone's heart
