Pronunciation

ɣɛvt͡ʃoqʰ

Sound out ghevchoq letter by letter:

• ghɣvoiced version of H, like a growled gargle
• eɛe as in 'bed'
• vvv as in 'vow'
• cht͡ʃch as in 'chew'
• ooo as in 'go'
• qqʰk far back in the throat, aspirated

• On rare occasion, a place's name can be traced to an individual or family, such as [...] ghevchoq Sep ("Gevchok region") [...] [KGT p.17]

In KGT this word only occur as part a noun--noun construction with Sep region, however, the use of Sep in region names varies enough that inclusion of the word here without Sep seems warranted. (Of six regions named in KGT, one [{ghevchoq}] is only used with Sep, two [{meqro'vaq} and {noHva'Dut}] are only used without it, and three [{Qotmagh, Sa'Qej} and {voSpegh}] are used both with and without it.)

• ghevchoq Sep — Gevchok region
