XV. Sumerian and Georgian: a Study in Comparative Philology

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  15 March 2011

Extract

For two reasons we give here the elements of Sumerian and Georgian–Lazian–Mingrelian–Svanian sound-changes: (1) to show how far the sound-changes in Sumerian correspond to the sound-changes in Georgian and (2) to justify our comparisons of Sumerian and Georgian words, i.e. to show that those comparisons are phonetically not impossible.
