Hello, Glen
Have you analyze the Nakh items in detail?
For example, have you considered the oblique forms and the plural
forms of the words in Chechen, Ingush and Batsbi? Often inflected
Nakh forms preserve phonemes otherwise lost. Have you considered
any attempt of internal reconstruction before making some hypotheses
of borrowing?
All the discussion at least a little airy (it's not an insult).
It lack phonological substance.
Perhaps Greek /mallos/ is Nakh-related, but further information is
needed.
The site of Leida University is "sclerotized" and I have no reliable
references except Starostin's database. Search in it, you will find
inflected forms, dialectal variations, possible Daghestanian
cognates, etc... There is also the possibility of making searches for
Nakh protoform.
Kind Regards
Marco
