milosrdenstvi commented on the word ბ�?ყ�?ყი
baqaqi -- frog. Notable for containing two of the elusive ყ. Georgians would repeat a tongue-twister "the frog in the water croaks" (ბ�?ყ�?ყი წყ�?ლში ყიყინებს; baqaqi ts'qalshi qiqinebs) and blithely smile as we attempted it.
Notice ts'qalshi, a variant of ts'qali (წყ�?ლი) which I have already posted. In Georgian, the suffix "shi" means "in" -- so water is made to "in water". Similarly Tbilisi/Tbilishi means 'in Tbilisi' (and Tbilisi DOES have an i in that first syllable!); sakhli (ს�?ხლი) means house, sakhlshi means 'at home.'
