Pay attention to the highlighted parts. What do they have in common?
The -ghar upgrade
Insert -ღარ and any negation gains 'no longer': არ → აღარ (doesn't anymore), ვერ → ვეღარ (can no longer), ნუ → ნუღარ (stop ...-ing). The A1 ar/ver split survives intact: აღარ = chooses not to anymore, ვეღარ = is no longer able.
Periphrastic 'ukve ar' calques where aghar is the idiom, and aghar/veghar swaps that flip choice into inability.
