Isi artikel

A large number of indigenous languages of the Caucasus employ a lexeme of Indo-European origin to designate the daughter-in-law. In this article, the authors examine the likely Indo-European sources of the word, its reflexes in the Caucasian languages, and the social factors that conditioned its borrowing and spread in the region. The article concludes with a brief discussion of the relevance of this case study for the analysis of the distribution of kin terms in other parts of the world.
