This 1984 academic monograph by E. Lomtadze, published under the auspices of the Institute of Linguistics of the Georgian Academy of Sciences, represents a significant contribution to Caucasian philology. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of the Tsezic (Didoic) languages, including the arrangement of accentual patterns and phonetic shifts analyzed through a comparative-historical lens. Focusing on the complex prosodic systems of the Dido, Bezhta, and Hinukh languages, among others, this work serves as a vital primary source for documenting the phonetic structures of the North Caucasian language family.  Published by the prestigious "Metsniereba" house with a very limited print run of only 600 copies, the volume is a rare bibliographical artifact reflecting the high standard of Soviet linguistic research in Georgia. It remains an essential reference for caucasiologists and historical linguists investigating the genetic relationships and morphological evolution of the Dagestanian languages.
