ანოტაცია

The terms dzeglists’era, dzegli-ganacheni, dzegltdeba attested in the Georgian historical sources are based on the term dzegli “monument”.

The main meaning of the term ძეგლი is a multifunctional sacred stone niche that is erected by a human as material evidence of the eternal agreement and obligation to the Lord and society.

The establishment of this word as a legal term reflects a certain historical process – the oldest rule of writing the law on stone used in manuscripts, c.f. dzegli “a stone niche depicting agreement and obligation” > “a written document depicting approved obligations”.

Dzeglists ’ era means writing the laws, the written definitions of the law.

Dzegli-ganacheni is a written expression of the law enacted as a result of
the judgment.

dzegltdeba/dzeglisdeba is the legalization of the written decision of
lawmakers made as a result of the judgment, i.e., the universal law.

Generally, the legal meaning of the word ძეგლი is not unfamiliar to the Georgian folk consciousness. The term ძეგლთდება/ძეგლისდება was derived on the basis of the dialectal folk terminology by King George V the Brilliant and used for proper purposes. This assumption is based on 1. The terms that still exist in the mountain dialects of Eastern Georgia (dzegli,
dzengli, dzeglis dadeba, danadebi, dast’uris dzegli, ẖar-kvabit dzengli,
medzengle, etc.); 2. The antiquity and nature of the folk customs and traditions related to them; 3. The attestation of these terms (dzegli/dzengli/dzergi; dzegne/dzegni) in another dialectal area, i.e., Southwest Georgia.

Thus, ძეგლი “an erected multifunctional sacred niche” > dzegli “a material
expression of agreements and obligations, the laws (a niche, a manuscript)”
> 1. dzeglists’era “writing the laws; the written definitions of the law”; 2. dzegli-ganacheni “a written document of the laws enacted as a result of the judgment”; 3. dzeglisdeba “the legalization of the written decision of lawmakers, i.e., enacting the universal law”.
