It's something I read years ago. It may have been
Bomhard, but I've seen it mentioned several times in
postings on the old Nostratic list. I think someone
also cited Joanna Nichols and the gist was that both
IE and Kartvelian were once east of the Caspian and
that there was an intervening language between them
that accounted for wanderworts that didn't quite match
up.
