Hmm, interesting. That *su- word gives me etymological headaches.
Maybe it _is_ Kartvelian. As for Kartvelian *dqa-... In order
for it to become *digh-, I'd imagine that a preform would have
to be assumed, something like **dIq�-. If so, I'd imagine a
date of c.5000/4500 BCE for such a loan to take place. Actually,
that makes sense cuz I was already thinking that the Kartvelians
entered the Caucasus c.5000 BCE.

Nifty. I have to think some more...
