წვერ-ულვაში

Georgian

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): [t͡sʼʷeɾulʷaʃi]
  • Hyphenation: წვერ-ულ‧ვა‧ში

Noun

წვერ-ულვაში (c̣ver-ulvaši) (plural წვერ-ულვაშები)

  1. beard, mustache and beard

Usage notes

Uniquely Georgian construction to place emphasis on the fullness of beard, on the entirety of hair that grows on human face. Despite the fact that beard also includes mustache, it's seen as somehow separate from it. Addition of "mustache" part also allows to disambiguate the word წვერი (c̣veri), which has multiple meanings.
