TVER

Before considering the name of an ancient Russian city from the Kartvelian point of view, let us take into account the following pairs:

«კვრა» [kvra] («to strike») – «კვერი» [kveri] («hammer» or «fist») «სვრა» [svra] («to stain») – «სვერი» [sveri] (name of a village) «ძვრა» [dzvra] («to move») – «ძვერი» [dzveri] (name of a village)

If we agree that each of these pairs consists of words of the same root, then we must agree that the analogous word «თხვრა» [tkhvra] ("to pollute") can have a similar root pair "თხვერი" [tkhveri].

Why is this important? Because in the Novgorod Chronicle Tver is mentioned precisely as "Тхверь" (Tkhver), which in Kartvelian transliteration will be precisely "თხვერი" [tkhveri].

If all this makes sense, then the name "Tver" is translated as "dirt, mud" or "dirty, muddy". By the way, in the neighboring Lipetsk region there is a town with exactly this name - Gryazi (Muds).

UPDATE: And all becomes totally transparent when we find the word ტვერი (tveri) in the Megrelian dictionary of Kobalia in the meaning "dirt". Case closed. Another historical Russian town with a Georgian name.
