- Literary context
- Relevant circumstances and traditions helping interpretation, without replacing the wording and structure of the actual supplied work.
- Satire
- A mode of criticism using literary representation and often humour or irony, rather than a literal endorsement of every depicted action.

- Case
- A grammatical form associated with syntactic relationships, whose realization depends on the actual Georgian noun and construction.
- Screeve
- A Georgian verbal paradigm associated with a particular combination of grammatical properties, rather than simply one English tense label.
- Verb class

- Inversion
- A grammatical pattern in relevant Georgian constructions where logical participant roles differ from a simple assumed nominative-subject mapping.
- Mkhedruli

- Invocation

- Revision
- Review of a draft’s relevance, organization, evidence and language, extending beyond the correction of isolated spelling errors alone.
