GRANADA

Spanish Granada used to be called "Garnata". On the other hand, in French the name is written with an "e" - "Grenade". This gives us the right to assume that the true old name of the city was "Gernata". By the way, in this form - "Gernata" - the name of Granada is given in the Dictionary of Moroccan Arabic edited by Richard Slade Harrell. If so, then the word "Gernata" can be easily decomposed into the Megrelian morphemes "ger + n + at" and means "the country of gerni", that is, "the country of wolves". The mountains around Granada are indeed the habitat of the Iberian wolf - Lobo Iberico. Compare to "Gernika". The same root with a different, but still Kartvelian ending.
