QUIRITES

The author of this interesting hypothesis is Zviad Akubardia.

The word 'quirites' was used by the Romans as their self-name. They were proud of it, although we also know that when Caesar was telling his troops off, he also called them 'quirites'. Which means, not soldiers, but mere citizens.

Anyway, this prominent word is well attested.

At the same time, in Georgian 'kviriti' (ქვირითი) means hard-roe. Which means, brood, descendants. Meanwhile linguists have no reliable etymology for the word 'quirites'.
