GETTING BACK TO SASAMÓN

As you should remember, this Spanish town was intrepreted as the Kartvelian SA-construction: SA-SAMON-E, with 'samoni' translated from Kartvelian as 'fat, stout'.

The Georgians wonder where this translation came from.

It came from here:
http://orthodox.ge/index.php?id=saxelebi%2Fm18.php

...where the name of Saint Samon ('Samoni' in Kartvelian) is translated as 'მსუქანი', which is 'fat, stout'.

The nuance is that the mentioned source is not the Kartvelian, but 'Jewish' language (let's assume, it's Hebrew).

First, Kartvelian language, kindred to the Phoenician, which was the language of 'Ebernari' land, is kindred to Hebrew as well, for Hebrew being a derivation from the Phoenician language.

Second, the name 'Samoni' may be the same Kartvelian SA-construction of its own - SA-MONE. If so, then the MONI-root shoud be somehow related to fatness in Kartvelian languages.

It indeed does so in Megrelian language, where მონე ([moni], Kajaia) means მოვნე, მავნებელი (harmful), and seems to related to digestion, since the Kajaia's example to illustrate the word is "არ სჭამო, კუჭი არ აგიშალოს, მავნებელია" - "Don't eat, the stomach can't cope with that, it's harmful". So, fatness? Yes.

The critics may say, it's not normal to use the SA-construction as a human's name (Samoni). And here we suddenly come to what may be another huge discovery...

The example to check the above critics' statement is another famous name - Samson(i). The name is translated (and again 'from Hebrew') as 'მზიანი', which is 'sunny'. Allegedly, from Hebrew 'shemesh' - 'sun'.

But doesn't SaMSon (if it's 'sunny') include a 'sun' of its own, which is Kartvelian მზე (mze)? And doesn't the name in this case represent the same SA-construction? Isn't it cognate with the Georgian word სამზეური (samzeuri) - 'sunny spot'?

If the abovementioned makes sense, then the 'Hebrew word' 'shemesh' has to be a derivation from the Kartvelian construction SAMZE. Which makes Hebrew another derivation from the Kartvelian language...
