==History== thumb|left|90px|Borjgali The term borjgali translates to "the flow of time" from Megrelian borj "time" and gal "pass" or "flow". The word is believed to derive from the Megrelian term ბარჩხალი (barchkhali), which means "brilliance" or "glitter." Other scholars believe its origin is from Old Georgian ბურჯი (burji) "time" and "ღალ" (ghal) "holy fruit" or "harvest," together meaning "holy fruit sprouting from time."
