Ghalghai (Шаблон:Lang-inh, Шаблон:IPA, sg. ГIалгIа, Шаблон:IPA) is the self-name (endonym) of the Ingush people.

There's no consensus among scholars on the etymology of the ethnonym as there exists different theories and speculations on its etymology. However, it is most often associated with the word "ghalā" (гIала), meaning "tower" or "fortress" and the plural form of the suffix of person, "gha" (гIа), thus, translated as "people/inhabitants of towers". It is also associated by some scholars with the ancient Gargareans and Gelae mentioned in the classical sources.

In Georgian sources, the ethnonym is mentioned in the form of Gligvi as an ethnonym during the reign of Mirian I, as well as the ruler of Kakheti Kvirike III. In Russian sources, "Ghalghai" first becomes known in the second half of the 16th century, in the form of "Kalkans/Kolkans", "Kalkan people".

Morphology

Etymology

There's no consensus among scholars on the etymology of the ethnonym,Шаблон:Sfn therefore different theories and speculations exist on its etymology. Some scholars (e.g. Шаблон:Ill, Шаблон:Ill) consider that "ghalghai" means "people/inhabitants of towers", while others (e.g. Шаблон:Ill, Adrienne Mayor) connect the ethnonym to either Gargareans or to Gelae (Ivane Javakhishvili, Arnold Chikobava). Versions connecting ghalghai to the legendary figure Gha/Galga or to the God of Sun/Sky Шаблон:Ill in Vainakh religion are also found.

"People of towers"

A number of scholars (e.g. Шаблон:Ill, Yunus Desheriev, Ibragim Aliroev) connected ghalghai to the word "ghalā" (гIала, 'tower/fortress') thus, translating the word from Ingush as "people/inhabitants of towers".Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

According to this version, ghalghai is combination of two Ingush words, "ghalā" (гIала, 'tower/fortress') and derivational affix "-gha" (гIа) Therefore, ghalghai is translated as "people/inhabitants of towers".Шаблон:Sfn Katy Chokaev considers the "-gha" in ghalghai the suffix of person "-gha",Шаблон:Sfn while Yunus Desheriev considers it a transformed affix from the Nakh affix "kho". He also notes that in Nakh languages, the sounds "kh" and "gh" often alternate which could have made the transformation of kho to gha. It's possible that in one of the dialects of Ingush language, case affix "-gha" was used instead to form the ethnonym.Шаблон:Sfn According to Ibragim Aliroev, the "-gha" in ghalghai is the Vainakh syllable for place, "gha" (Шаблон:Cf.ma-ghara, 'up', ēgha, 'down').Шаблон:Sfn

Gelae

Файл:Galgai (Ghelae, Gelae, Gelai).jpg
The Caucasus in the 1st century BC according to ancient Greek geopgrapher Strabo, composed by Шаблон:Ill.

In the first century AD, the ancient Greek geographer Strabo mentioned the Gelae and Legae tribes in his work Geographica. He mentioned how according to Theophanes of Mytilene, who participated Caucasian campaign of Pompey, the Gelae and Legae lived between the Amazons and Albanians:Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Blockquote

Georgian historian and linguist Ivane Javakhishvili and linguist, dr. of philological sciences Arnold Chikobava have connected the Gelae with the ethnonym ghalghai (Ingush).[1][2]

Gargareans

Strabo had also mentioned another tribe inhabiting the Caucasus, that is, Gargareans. According to him, the Amazons lived on their borders:Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Blockquote

The Gargareans like Gelae, were also connected to the ethnonym ghalghai by a number of scholars like Шаблон:Ill,Шаблон:Sfn Evgeny Krupnov,Шаблон:Sfn Gamrekeli,Шаблон:Sfn Adrienne Mayor.Шаблон:Sfn

Gal of the Vainakh religion

The Chechen linguist, dr. of philological sciences Katy Chokaev connected ghalghai with the name of the God of Sun/Sky Gal (Шаблон:Lang, Ghal) of the Vainakh religion. Together with plural form of suffix of person "-ghai", it formed the ethnonym which translates, according to Chokaev, as "those who pray to the God of Sun, Gal". He also found a parallel of this etymology with the ethnonym in Mountain Chechen dialects, Ghielaga (Шаблон:Lang).Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The cult of Gal was found in Ingushetia, and according to the Ossetian scholar, professor Шаблон:Ill, originated in Assa Gorge.Шаблон:Sfn Alborov noted that, linguistically, with the rise of the initial consonant, Gal could have formed from older Ingush terms Hal(a) and Al(a), both signifying "god" in ancient times.Шаблон:Sfn

Ancestor Gha

The Nakh legends recorded in the 19th century are often interpreted by researchers in a historical context, however, such use requires special source study methods and does not allow establishing an exact chronology to describe any events from the life of the ancestors of the Chechens and Ingush.Шаблон:Sfn In such legends, ethnonym ghalghai is connected to the legendary ancestor Gha.Шаблон:Sfn The Gha's name on the other hand, is explained due to him being supposedly named after leaf's name (Шаблон:Lang-inh) as he was born with it in his hand.Шаблон:Sfn

Legends recorded by the Dargin ethnographer Шаблон:Ill in mountainous villages (auls) of Erzi and Falkhan mention how once upon a time there lived three brothers, Ga, Orshtkho/Arshtkho and Nakhcho, from whom the Galgai (Ingush), Orstkhoi and Nokhchi (Chechens) descended. The brothers arrived in the mountains from the east and settled in the area of Galga, from where they began to settle throughout the territories of modern Chechnya and Ingushetia.Шаблон:Sfn In Chechen legends about the origin of the Vainakhs, other combinations of the brothers' names were also found, for example, Ako/Akho and Shoto (eponyms for the Akkins and Shatois) could be added.Шаблон:Sfn

  1. ↑ Шаблон:Harvnb: [translation of the Georgian text] "In ancient times, Greek and Roman geographers called the native inhabitants of the middle and eastern parts of the North Caucasus «Geli» and «Legi». The name Geli (Gelae) is the equivalent of the modern «Ghalgha», as pronounced in their own language and in the Tushin language; and the equivalent of Legi is the Georgian «Lekebi» (Leks, Avars). In Georgian, the first corresponds to «Ghilghvi» (singular) and «Ghilghvelebi» (plural), which are often found in old Tushin folk poems. And in other regions of Georgia, it is customary to designate them as «Ghlighvi»."
  2. ↑ Шаблон:Harvnb: "The terms «Sindian», «Gligvian», «Legian», «Albanian» correspond to the names of peoples mentioned in historical Greek sources: Sindi — are one of the Adyghe peoples; Γιλγ- [Gligvi] — the old Georgian name of for Nakh peoples, in particular the Ingush, Γαλγα- [Galga] — the self-name of the Ingush people is close to Ancient Greek 𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐢, and 𝐥𝐞𝐠 is close to Ancient Greek 𝐥𝐞́𝐠𝐨𝐢 (cf. Georgian «leḳ-i» — the collective name of the peoples of Dagestan)."
