In the same
Dictionary of Volyn Dialect of Ukrainian Language there is a word '
бега' (
bega) in the meaning of '
foot'. Sure, it's the source for '
бігати' (
bigaty) - '
to run'. Note, that in Georgian '
foot' is '
pehi' which consists of the same consonants as '
bega', but unvoiced. Thus, such Ukrainian words as
'бігати' (bigaty) and
'піхота' (pihota) are more and more likely to be cognates.
