"-AGE" SUFFIX

Let's get back to "fourage", which, as already mentioned, is clearly coming from the Georgian cow "phuri".

In Spanish "forraje", in French "fourage", in English "forage". It is the same suffix "-ah", transformed in the French into "azh", and in English into "-ij".

This is a Kartvelian suffix, which exists in different dictionaries varieties: -ახ, -აქ, -აყ, -ა, -აღ. With its help, we make a noun from another one, as, for example, in the case of "ahva" (groan) - "ahvahi" (cry).
