Linguistics
The word gmir-i (hero) - a verbal noun with the suffix ir performed from ablative. The constructure is following: gmers → gmira → gmiri. The primary semantics of the word gmiri (i in Georgian is an ending of case) is next: gmiri = hero (a man who was bound, or who bound others, or one who was tormented). So gmiri = bounded (a man who fought, corrupted). From these we have got: a giant, a huge man. For comparison: gmin-v-a (suffer, moan), gm-ur-i (a spear). The root of gmir-i (← gumiri) is connected with gumera||gurema, gmin-v-a, guema, guami||gvami.There exists a possibility that Armenian word gamir (Kimerian) and Syrian word gmira (completed) are formed from the Georgian gmiri.
