ძმარი
Georgian
Etymology
From Old Georgian ძმარი (ʒmari), from Proto-Kartvelian *ʒ₁um-. Cognate with Mingrelian ჯუმორი (ǯumori), Laz ჯუმუ (ǯumu, “salt”) and Svan ჯიმ (ǯim, “salt”).
The Proto-Kartvelian root has been compared to either Proto-Northwest Caucasian *ǯ̍ǝ (“salt”) (Klimov, 1969), whence Abkhaz аџьыка (āǯ̍əḳā), or Proto-Northeast Caucasian *c̣_ĕmhV (“salt”) (Starostin), whence Avar цӏцӏам (c̣̄am).
