SAMBAMBE

There is a Spanish word "sambambe" meaning "fight, scrap". If this is the Kartvelian construction with "sa-", then the root that needs to be looked for is "mbamba".

Mbamba is an African predatory fish, which is an analogue of the South American piranha and, attention! - can feed on birds hovering over the water. That is, it is a symbol of a predator. Moreover, you can imagine that, having thrown a piece of meat into the water, you will observe a fight-scuffle, namely, "sambambe".

And the word, pay attention, comes from the Congo, where we have a lot of inexplicable Kartvelisms.
