This notorious pirate nation is attributed by the Apsuans (pseudo-Abkhazians) to their ethnogenesis. According to them, it's "цlыху", which is 'man' in Apsuan.
But this generally accepted version sumples upon an unovercomeable problem. Strabo, the first to mention the nation, spells it this way: Ζυγοί
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Зихи
...which is [zugi] according to the rules of Ancient Greek phonetics, not [zigi]. While 'zuga' (ზუგა) is a pure Megrelian word meaning 'hill'. Hence the name of Megrelian capital Zugdidi, which is traditionally interpreted as 'zug + didi' - 'a big hill'. Although in Kajaia's dictionary you'll find an alternative spelling: 'Zugidi', which may be a slightly mangled 'Zugeti' - 'land of hills'.
Anyway, Zygii-Zugii are Megrelians (and aborigenous Abkhazians, at the same time).
Apsuans (those, who call themselves Abkhazians today) are neither Zugii, nor Abkhazians.
