By the same principle outlined in previous sections, how should the name Moisei (Moses in Ukrainian and Russian) be interpreted? As the Georgian adjective "moiseli." The "l" is likely and legitimately to be reduced (Megrelian trait).
What is "moiseli" derived from? The root "mois." And what does "mois" (მოის) mean in Georgian? It is an adverb meaning "on the way home."
Moses, of course, is famously known for returning home from Egypt. And that's exactly what his "name" means in Georgian.
There is no room for doubt here—the prefix "mo-" is strictly Kartvelian and signifies movement toward the speaker.
This interpretation aligns seamlessly with Moses' historical and symbolic journey.
