Southern Spain and Southern Portugal are known on ancient maps as Cuneti or Conii. The duality perfectly explains the Kartvelian nature of the toponym: the word "Conii" is the name of a tribe, and the word "Cuneti"/"Coneti" is the name of the country that this tribe inhabited.
The meaning of the root here is difficult to determine. It is possible that it is the Kartvelian "koni", meaning "fat", and possibly present as a root in the Spanish word for "rabbit" - "conejo". In any case, the latter has no reliable etymology, although rabbits have always been very numerous in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. In any case, the "et"-ending is purely Kartvelian.- Home
