- Čuxua, Merab (2007) Iberiul-ičkeriul enata šedarebiti gramaṭiḳa [Ibero-Ichkerian Comparative Grammar] (in Georgian), Tbilisi: Tbilisi State University Press, page 410, reconstructs Proto-Kartvelian *max-al- connecting it with Svan *მახარ (*maxar, “barley”); the connection is later retracted. The Svan term is seemingly a ghost word.
