NAPOLI

This is not "Neapol". The word "Neapol", invented by the Greeks, conveys the true name of the ancient city as correctly, as "Kyiv" comes from Kiy.

The Italians themselves call their city "Napoli", where there is no hint at any "nea". But it is even more important that in the local dialect the city is generally called "Napule".

For any Kartvelian (Georgian, Megrelian, Svan or Laz) it is clear that "Napule" = "where pul- used to be." It is the "former place of the root" construction, that uses the fundamental Kartvelian prefix "na-" ("no-" in Megrelian), which is also used simply as a formant of passive participles.

What is "Puli/Pula"? Such a Georgian word (ფული) has many meanings, and most importantly it means "money". Can the word "money" act as a toponym? I don't see any obstacles. Especially if the word "money" is associated in this case, for example, with the concept of "buried treasure".

Note that we have a toponym with the same "puli" root in the same region. This is nothing but the Italian region of Apulia, which is written by Italians themselves as Puglia. Apulia/ Pulia coincides with the rich Greek colony in Italy Magna Grecia and it can and should be easily associated with money.

The second "pul-" is the Croatian city of "Pula", also a former Greek colony. I remind you that Strabo, paraphrasing Callimachus, told how the Colchians pursued Jason, lowered their oars into the Illyrian Sea and founded the city of Poli. Pay attention to the alternation "poli-puli". It once again proves that the toponym "Puli" is precisely the Georgian word "money", because in Ariane Chanturia's dictionary the word "money" is given in both versions - "puli" and "poli" (the alternation of "u" and "o" is a well-known Georgian-Megrelian phenomenon).

And the third "pul-" will be that mysterious ancient place near Naples, which was also inhabited by Greeks (who, by the way, may not have been any Greeks, but, let's say, the pre-Greek Kartvelian-speaking Pelasgians) and later named with the word "Napule" meaning "where Pula used to be".

There is also a fourth Pula – a municipality in Sardinia.

Do you know what street there is in Scanzano, Tuscany? Via delle Sapule. Sapule, as they know Georgians mean "wallet", because "sa+puli=sapule", "where there is money", a popular Georgian morphological construction.
