MEGRELAN -SHE-ENDING

At least once the adjective superlative degree is formed in Megrelian with the help of 'she-ending (-შე): დიდიშე (didishe) = უდიდესი (udidesi) =  the biggest. In Ukrainian and Russian languages similar ending (-ще/-shche) is used to form augmentative nouns: 'силище' (silishche), 'чудовище' (chudovishche), etc.
