The famous Phoenician city simply has to have a Kartvelian structure due to its Phoenician origin (those guys were Kartvelians). To all the versions of the origin of the name we will add the word "ქართა" [map], which has not yet been mentioned, which in Imereti and Guria means "a pen for cattle", that is, something fenced, that is, ultimately, "a city". The final "-go" is the Basque genitive case ending, if anything.
Meanwhile "Carthagena", being Carthago's derivation, indeed uses the Laz diminutive suffix "-ena". Another Kartvelian interpretation of "ena" is "language" (Geoegian).
