The paper argues that the word ayəṭaa ‘devil’ attested in Abkhaz was borrowed from New Persian where it denoted the ancient written monument of the religion Zoroastrianism of the ancient Iranian people (Avistā). The Abkhaz aʒəʒlan // aʒəzlan denotes a fairy. The paper argues that the lexeme might have a complex structure: aʒ meaning 'water' + the transformation suffix *-s > z + the local preverb la + n. In Abkhaz aǯnēš is one of the lexical units denoting Satan, a devil. Our attention is also focused on the Old Georgian lexical entry memaǯani ‘horrifying’ that entered Georgian from the Asian languages. We believe that the lexemes aǯnēš, ǯahanam, memaǯani, which entered Abkhaz and Georgian from the Asian languages, were derived from the common source ǯahnam // ǯahanam ‘hell’. The paper also deals with the analysis of the Abkhaz proper name až°ejpšaa and its etymology. In order to thoroughly analyze the ethnopsychology of any ethnos, we think that studying the etymology of anthropomorphic names is very important. In our opinion, this part of a language’s vocabulary clearly shows the linguistic worldview, history, ethnological traditions, customs and rituals of an ethnos. Our etymological research focuses on 4 anthropomorphic words: Abkhaz a-yəstaa ‘devil’, aʒəʒlan // aʒəzlan ‘fairy’, aǯnəšǝ ‘Satan, the devil’, and až°ejpšaa ‘the deity of beasts’.
该论文认为，在阿布哈兹证实的单词ay æ ṭaa“魔鬼”是从新波斯语借来的，它表示古代伊朗人的宗教琐罗亚斯德教的古代书面纪念碑(Avistā)。阿布哈兹语a j æ j lan // a j æ k zlan表示仙女。本文认为，阿布哈兹语的词素可能具有复杂的结构:意为“水”的“a”+变换后缀*-s > z +局部前缀la + n。在阿布哈兹语中，aǯnēš是表示魔鬼撒旦的词汇单位之一。我们的注意力也集中在古格鲁吉亚词汇条目memaǯani '恐怖'，它从亚洲语言进入格鲁吉亚。我们认为，从亚洲语言进入阿布哈兹语和格鲁吉亚语的词素aǯnēš、ǯahanam、memaǯani来源于共同的词源ǯahnam // ǯahanam“hell”。本文还分析了阿布哈兹专有名称abov°ejpšaa及其词源。为了深入分析各民族的民族心理，我们认为对拟人名称的词源研究是非常重要的。在我们看来，语言词汇的这一部分清楚地显示了一个民族的语言世界观、历史、民族学传统、习俗和仪式。我们的词源学研究集中在4个拟人化的词上:阿布哈兹语a-y æ staa“魔鬼”，a j æ j lan // a j æ k zlan“仙女”，aǯn æ šǝ“撒旦，魔鬼”和aji°ejpšaa“野兽之神”。

The article is devoted to problematic issues in the description of the Caucasian ethnicities and common Caucasian identities in the context of Pre-Soviet and contemporary history of the dialogue of cultures. It is noted that a comprehensive philosophical interpretation of the concept of Caucasian identity can hardly claim to universality and a satisfactory shared perception of social scientists, representing different fields of science. With regard to the actual problems of knowledge of Caucasian identity, the author proposes to use the appropriate traditional Caucasian scale of values of the semantic and semiotic transcriptions of Caucasian reality.

To promote scientific and cultural dialogue, to strengthen and develop Circassian-Georgian relations, the Tbilisi Circassian Culture Center (CCC) has published a number of original monographs by prominent caucasologists and partners both in Georgia and abroad. These scientific publications discuss issues related to lexicology, mythology, folklore, ethnology, ethno-linguistics, culture, political science, history, ethnogenesis, sociolinguistics, and other related branches of the humanities. Implementing the task of promoting dialogue in the Caucasus region, as well as protecting, studying and preserving the cultural and linguistic heritage of the peoples of the Caucasus, the authors of the monographs raise the etymological study of the common roots of the Iberian-Caucasian language family, semantic features of the Circassian dialects, the Ubykh language, Circassian-Georgian language parallels. These publications also deal with issues of ethnicity, political history and culture of the Circassians, issues of historical mutual relations of the Georgian and Circassian peoples, problems of genetic research, the study of the Caucasian region with respect to its genetic profile, Circassian-Georgian bibliography, issues of generalized transmission and the complex study of myth-creation, faith, ritual practice historically formed among the peoples living in the North and South Caucasus. The monograph History of mutual relations of the Georgian and Circassian peoples (2014, in Russian) by the Georgian scholar Nikoloz Javakhishvili is a history of two kindred peoples – Georgians and Circassians, relating centuries-old history. This monograph presents essays of the history of relations and cooperation of the peoples who are kindred from a linguistic and anthropological standpoint. It is indicated that cooperation in the military-political, economic and cultural spheres was rather intensive. In this respect, it is extremely important that N. Javakhishvili uses and introduces into the discussion new documents on the history of the Circassians stored in the Georgian archives. These documents highlight the centuries-old friendship and cooperation of the Circassians and Georgians. The author describes the history of dynastic marriages between the representatives of the Georgian and Circassian royal courts and principalities (16 th –18 th centuries), the extraordinary history of the Cherkezishvili family, which gave Georgia many outstanding figures, the history of military commonwealth of Circassians and Georgians, the history of Georgian-Circassian scholarship and cultural relations, and Circassian themes in Georgian folklore and literature.

Circassian toponymy is widely represented in the Krasnodar Territory. Basically, it has been preserved in medium and small geographical objects and is easy to translate. From the perspective of studying the history and culture of any nation, as well as preserving its memory associated with the geography of its ethnogenesis, local toponymy, preserved in the names of residential settlements, hydronyms, names of mountains, hills and tracts, is of great importance. Some toponyms are controversial today and cause distorted versions of the history of the region excluding the role of the indigenous population. As a rule, the local population mostly does not know about the Circassian origin of local toponymy. However, the Circassian (Adyghe) toponymy bears traces of the region’s ancient history right up to the Bronze Age and this is confirmed by archaeological material and its connection with local place names. In this article I consider the most famous examples of the Circassian toponymy of the region and their features.

Caucasian mythology is very peculiar and diversified. It can be said that the myths which have passed through the millennia have much in common. It should be noted that giant creatures, convinced of their power and having such advantage, were not always well disposed to other inhabitants. Moreover, they use this advantage not only to praise their names, but also to satisfy various temptations, such as the appropriation of the property of others, the destruction of others, and so on. The present article deals with the representation of these mythological titans, which are represented in various ways. It is noteworthy that giants play a significant role in Caucasian mythology, consisting of the world of devis, giants and goliaths. The main objective of the paper is to show that giant creatures in the mythology of the Caucasian people always contradict the representatives of the ordinary world, mainly to emphasize their advantage, and appropriate the property of others by the use of force leading to many fights and much bloodshed.
