SQUAW

After the Kartvelian (specifically Megrelian) origins of numerous North American toponyms were confirmed beyond doubt, it became clear that the well-known "Native American" word "squaw" (meaning "woman") is actually derived from the Megrelian "skua," meaning "child."

Thus, "squaw" does not simply mean "woman"—it means "woman with a child." In essence, until she has a child, she is not a woman but a girl.

Technically the genitive case of "skua" is "skwou" (English equivalent - "child's"), which is nothing else but "squaw".

Supporting Evidence

"That curious concept of ‘squaw,’ the enslaved, demeaned, voiceless childbearer, existed and exists only in the mind of the non-Native American and is probably a French corruption of the Iroquois word otsiskwa [also spelled ojiskwa], meaning ‘female sexual parts’—a word almost clinical both denotatively and connotatively."
