    The Influence of Septuagint Greek on the Means of Expression of the Objective Version in Georgian Biblical Translations
    (National Aviation University, 2021-04) Tsikhelashvili, Lela
    The formation of the literary Georgian language was largely influenced by Greek. Translation from Greek, which had a different grammatical system, was always problematic for Georgian translators-editors. The aim of the given paper is to find out which of the synthetic and analytical means of expression of possessive/benefactive relations was given priority by Georgian translators: the synthetic formation, which was natural for Georgian but alien to Greek, or the analytical one. Comparison of the translations/editions of the old and Hellenophile periods of the books of three prophets - Micah, Zechariah and Baruch - has proved that old translations (X-XI cc.) attach priority to synthetic formation, while the edition of the Hellenophile period (XII-XIII cc.) prefers analytical formation, similar to Greek.
