Kremen Qartulad -

"საკოლოფე ბავშვებისთვის სახიფათოა." (Sak’olope bavshvebistvis sakhip’at’oa.) – "A lighter is dangerous for children."

Historically, the first lighters worked exactly like flint and steel. You would strike a piece of metal against a flint stone to create a spark, igniting a wick soaked in fuel. Because the flint (the stone) was the most important part, the entire device inherited its name. kremen qartulad
