In the Greek dictionary, the word "argaleos" means "difficult", "unpleasant", "burdensome", "painful".
The word begins with the Georgian negative prefix "ar". So, to put the puzzle together, we must find a Georgian root "gal" meaning "easy", "pleasant", "joyful" or similar. Any word with a positive connotation will do.
The Georgian dictionary does have such a root "gal" - "ღალ" ("ღალა", "ღალი", "ღალიანი"). The meanings range from "abundance" and "milk yield" to "high-quality", "expensive", "luxurious", "abundant". More than positive connotations and quite
opposite in meaning to "unpleasant" or "burdensome". The puzzle is completed. Greek words are borrowed from Kartvelian languages.
