Thus, the Directional case represents a common Kartvelian phenomenon,
rather than a specific one for Megrelian.
From the beginning, the form of the Genitive derived Adverbial
has been the common (shared) form for expressing direction and the
possessive purpose. Its differentiation resulted in the development of
cases expressing possessive purpose and direction in Old Georgian
(ķac-is-ad/ķac-is-ad-a... "for a man", čem-da "for me", upl-is-a "for the
Lord"), Pkhovian-Imeretian-Gurian-Lechkhumian-Rachan (ķac-is-ad
"for a man" čem-da "for me", ķac-iz-da > ķac-iz-a "for a man"), Svan
(ladğ-iš-d "for the day") and Megrelain (ķoč-iš-o(t) "for a man", čkimda
"towards me", ķoč-iš-a "towards a man").
1.2.3. Formation of Screeves
The verb system in Kartvelian idioms is substantially homogeneous
(personal and number markers, formation of main screeves, verb
templates, etc.).
All screeves that are presents in modern literary language occur
in Georgian dialects as well.
The principle of Series 1 screeve formation is generally similar to
that of the Literary Georgian: the present stem is used as a basis. Each
of the subsequnt form is based on the structure of the preceding one to
which a new formant is added:
Literary Georgian: ag-eb-s – ag-eb-da – ag-eb-d-e-s
Megrelian: og-an-s – og-an-d-u – og-an-d-a-s
Svan: ag-em – ag-äm-d-a – ag-äm-dēd-s
Formation of present stem is different in various types of verbs
(transitive, intransitive); in this regard the Kartvelian dialects display
the same tendency.
a) the forms with the thematic markers show peculiarity among
the transitive verbs, The Kartvelian sub-systems could be divided in
two groups given the presence or absence of thematic markers:
gard them as case forms, as they are adverbs by function and they have nothing common
with the declension paradigm (T. Uturgaidze, 1986). In view of V. Topuria, the Directional
case is a Genitive derived case with a particle: a (
