A specialised monograph by the Georgian Caucasologist L. Ghvinjilia on the morphology of plural formation in two Northeast Caucasian (Dagestanian) languages — Dargin (Darghi/Dargwa) and Lak — examined comparatively across the principal Dargin dialects (Urakhi, Kubachi, Tsudakhari, Kubachra, Megebi, and others) and the dialectal varieties of Lak. Issued under the editorial supervision of Akaki Magometov, the leading authority on Dargin in the Soviet period and the principal modern grammarian of the language, the volume forms part of the substantive output of the Institute of Linguistics of the Georgian Academy of Sciences (today the Arnold Chikobava Institute of Linguistics) on the comparative morphology of the Daghestanian languages — a research area in which the Tbilisi Caucasological school played a leading role from the 1950s onwards under the direction of Arnold Chikobava. The work treats with rigorous detail the inventory of plural formants in each language and dialect, the distribution and conditioning of allomorphs, the historical development of the plural-marking system, and the broader typological position of the Dargin and Lak plural systems within the Northeast Caucasian family. The volume includes substantial appendices of Tsudakhari Dargin and Lak dialectal material that constitute primary linguistic data of considerable independent value, alongside a Russian-language scholarly summary. Issued by Metsniereba in a print run of only 700 copies, distributed primarily through the institutional academic exchange channels of the Academy of Sciences press, the volume is genuinely scarce on the international market and rarely surfaces outside specialist Caucasological collections; copies bearing the author's presentation inscription, as here, are correspondingly uncommon and constitute association items of particular interest to specialists in Dagestanian linguistics, Northeast Caucasian historical morphology, and the Tbilisi school of Caucasology.
