NIANGUA

Incredibly, Missouri has a town called Niangua. Your next question should be: "Wait, are there crocodiles in Missouri?"—because in Georgian, "niangi" means "crocodile," and "-ua" is a characteristic Megrelian verbal noun ending.

And yes—alligators are present in Missouri, particularly in the nearby Mark Twain National Park. In America, they are referred to as alligators rather than crocodiles.

Additionally, in Latin America, "ñanga" means "swampy land."

In any case, the word Niangua is strikingly Megrelian.
