Imagine a barn filled with cows, sheep, goats, and pigs—quite the noisy scene, right? It turns out that in Svan, the word for "hlev" (ხლევ) actually means "noise, commotion." In Russian "hlev" means "barn".
This linguistic connection makes perfect sense! A barn is rarely a quiet place, and the Svan term captures its essence brilliantly. It’s fascinating how languages encode everyday experiences into their vocabulary.
