The more I learn about Georgian, the more it seems that the "verbs of motion/movement" are exceptional and use the same prefix morphemes that elsewhere are preverbs, but that they are not preverbs in this case!

When I ask my Georgian friends the language barrier kicks in, and probably the lack of knowledge of linguistics terms too )-: | |

| Mar 3, 2012 at 14:01 | comment | added | Alenanno | I fixed the formatting thing you needed. :) By the way, about the first quote, can you add the source? | |
