 * this does not have a good native etymology, so it could indeed be a Kartvelian borrowing. Please create the Proto-Kartvelian. Vahag (talk) 08:18, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * By the way there are words of similar structure in Nakh-Daghestani family. And also compare 🇨🇬, which could be (with weird vozcalism) the source of 🇨🇬. And while you're burried with Pontic Greek books, could you check how that word looks like in Pontic? :) კვარია (talk) 08:33, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Pontic does not have that word. Apart from the Ancient Greek and Mingrelian, there is also Northeast Caucasian as you said, and also .  is also somewhat similar. By the way, Klimov says  doesn't exist. Can you check? Acharyan's source must be Chubinov. Vahag (talk) 21:04, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * As per my comments here, I didn't find it back then too. However It seems to be mentioned in this version of Saba (but not in the pdf we're using which is slgihtly different), it's at the very bottom. I can also find it in Khevsur dictionary by Aleksi Chinchirauli, but it doesn't give usage example and it credits Avtandil Arabuli (who was an editor of that work) so I don't know it could have been backformed the verbs... So imho it does look semi-ghosty
 * Abkhaz looks similar to 🇨🇬, but k ~ ḳ is maybe strange. კვარია (talk) 21:42, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
