VENETI

The tribe of Veneti is recorded from the Adriatic to the Baltic regions and is associated, in particular, with the toponym "Venice". If so, then the word itself as a whole means the name of not a people, but a country where they lived - "Veneti". The root "veni" may have something to do with viticulture. Also, in favor of the fact that the root of the word "veneti" is "ven", is the history of the Vanir, the legendary neighbors of the Aesir on the Don.

Another twist would be to associate Veneti with Eneti, keeping in mind the Svan-Ukrainian custom to add the starting "v-".

Update:

On the importance of the Svans. The historians unequivocally equate the "Eneti" with the "Veneti". But no one says that this equation is made possible by the Svan linguistic phenomenon of adding the initial "v" to the vowel-beginning nouns: "otahi" - "votah", "ojahi" - "vojah", etc. This phenomenon was borrowed from the Svans by the Ukrainians: "ovtsy" - "vіvtsi", "on" - "vin" and so on. This is described in the book "Between Two Iberias".

There is no longer any need to look for the root "ven" in the names "Veneti" and "Venice". These are "Eneti" ("Eneti", actually, being the name of a country, not a people). The country of the Eni.

It is very likely that the Teukr (or, as we already know, The Ukr) Aeneas had something to do with the country of "Eneti", which was located in Paphlagonia and fought together with the Trojans-Teukri-Ukrs against the Achaeans.

Now let's all try to understand whether the expression "eniani kaba" (ენიანი კაბა, "enian dress") in Chanturia's dictionary has something to do with "tongue" ("ena" in Georgian), i.e., some kind of "tongue" dress, or is it the national dress of the Eneti people, the "enian dress". This is extremely important. In the dictionary, the dress is described as "dress with festoons, with turned-over sleeves". I cannot imagine that "festoons" or "turned-over sleeves"are associated with "tongue". Here is a reed flute, everything is clear here. But in the case of the dress – it is not clear at all.
