Signification
A river with a lot of depth.
Contexte culturel
Rivers like the Mtkvari and Rioni are central to Georgian identity. A 'deep river' often symbolizes the flow of history. In the mountains, deep rivers are respected and feared. Crossing them is a rite of passage. Poets use 'ghrma mdinare' to describe the soul or the complexity of the Georgian language itself. In Tbilisi, the depth of the Mtkvari is a common topic during spring floods.
