The name of the Spanish Iberian tribe that had a town called Oluba, turns out to be hugely Kartvelian itself. One of the archeological sites attributed to Berones is La Cueva de Santa Leocadia in the municipality of... Bernedo. It's not a problem at all to see a Kartvelian 'Berneti' toponym in it, which, in its turn, perfectly interprets as 'land of berni', with 'berni' being plural of 'beri'. The word 'beri', already seen in the Albanian 'Berat', has three meanings: (1) old; (2) monk; (3) goon. Can be 'land of either of the three'. No need to point out that 'beroni' is a Kartvelian adjective formed out of 'beri'.
Suddenly the Pamplona suburb Beriain turns out to be the 'Beriani' adjective, which is also a Georgian surname.
