So, the Goddess Nana 1 is the hypostasis of the Sun-goddess
(Bardavelidze 1957, 75-79, 81-83, 86, 94-98, 100, 139, 155,
156, 188, 190, 193).
For Georgians (also for older Indo-European people, see:
Gamkrelidze, Ivanov 1984, II, 685) the Moon is male, and the
Sun is female. This is seen, e. g., in a Mingrelian verse (Javakhishvili
1908, 111; Kipshidze 1914, 188):
1 . Mingrelian, Laz [nana] – 1. mother; 2. the Mingrelian folk song:
dida-voi Nana, dida-voi, Nanina!.. – mother-spirit(-VOC) Nana(-VOC),
mother-spirit(-VOC), Nanina(-VOC)!.. Mingrelian [nanaia] – the
diminutive form of the word Nana, similar to ‘mommy’ (Kipshidze 1914, 019;
Kajaia 2002, II, 358-359).
V. Bardavelidze (1957, 81-93) suggests that the Georgian folk song, lullaby
Iavnana is purportedly derived from the Colchian form Nana, and it‟s refrain:
ia-v-Nana, vard-o-Nana, ia-v-Nanina-o – Violet-VOC-Nana, Rose-VOC-
Nana, Violet-VOC-Nanina-VOC, is connected with the cult of the goddess
Nana.
