In Georgian 'Hungary' is უნგრეთი [ungreti]. One can clearly see the same root in უნგრევს [ungrevs] - 'demolishes' and in უნგრეველი [ungreveli] - 'indestructible' (quite a contradiction between words' meanings, no?).
Hungarians have always been strongly associated with such a demolishable and destructible nation as Huns (which have a solid Kartvelians intrepretation themselves).
As a bottom line, see the Svan toponymic AR-suffix in 'HungARy'.
