"-IDA" SUFFIX

Just one officially recognized pair of toponyms "Colchida-Colcheti" gives us the right to equate the Greek ending "-ida" to the Kartvelian "-eti" in other names. We are talking about such toponyms as Dorida, Fokida, Lokrida, which turn into Doreti, Foketi, Lokreti. For example, Doreti has every reason to be interpreted this way, since in the Akhalgori municipality of Georgia there is a village with exactly this name.
