Print run: 1,000 copies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1962 monograph is a seminal work in Caucasian linguistics, written by Georgiy Klimov, one of the foremost authorities on the Kartvelian (South Caucasian) language family. Published during a productive era for Soviet comparative linguistics, this study focuses on the evolutionary path of noun declension across the four sister languages: Georgian, Megrelian, Laz (Zan), and the archaic Svan.\u003cbr\u003eKlimov provides a rigorous reconstruction of the Proto-Kartvelian declension system, tracing the origins of case endings and the development of the ergative-nominative morphological structure. The book is particularly valued for its deep analysis of Svan, which often preserves linguistic features that have been lost or transformed in literary Georgian. Klimov examines the transition from a hypothetical ancient state of few cases to the more complex systems observed in modern Kartvelian dialects, providing a foundational logic for the phonological and morphological shifts involved.\u003cbr\u003eWith a very limited print run of only 1,000 copies, this book has become a collector's item and a critical reference for specialists in Ibero-Caucasian languages. It captures the transition from classical philology to modern structural and comparative-historical methods, remaining an essential resource for those researching the deep history of the languages of the Caucasus.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43963248902186,"sku":"EB-306591515984","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_4e3e2079-21e6-45e6-8497-be4f41722ffd.jpg?v=1768163239","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/%d0%ba%d0%bb%d0%b8%d0%bc%d0%be%d0%b2-%d1%81%d0%ba%d0%bb%d0%be%d0%bd%d0%b5%d0%bd%d0%b8%d0%b5-%d0%b2-%d0%ba%d0%b0%d1%80%d1%82%d0%b2%d0%b5%d0%bb%d1%8c%d1%81%d0%ba%d0%b8%d1%85-%d1%8f%d0%b7%d1%8b%d0%ba%d0%b0%d1%85-1962-klimov-declension-in-kartvelian-lang","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
