We have no right not to consider the version about the origin of the word "margal" from the Svan "marg" - "courage". "Margal" is "brave" in this case.
I already expressed an idea of where the disgusting word "Mengrel" could have come from. Here is another option: the Svan word "mengre" (მენგრე) means "fat". Georgians call this ethnic group "Megrelians", and their self-designation is "Margali".
