According to Jaimoukha, the mythological Gargareans, a group who migrated from eastern Asia Minor to the North Caucasus mentioned by Greek writer Strabo, are connected to the Nakh root "gergara", meaning "kindred" in proto-Nakh. However, Jaimoukha's theory is unlikely as Strabo and other ancient Greek writers considered the Gargareans to be Greeks. Jaimoukha's theory also references a number of placenames, such as the name "Durdzuks", used for the Vainakh in the Georgian Chronicles, is held to have come from "Durdzukka", a former settlement on Lake Urmia, as well as various other place names with elements including "bun" ("shelter") and "-k(h)i", a hydronym suffix. However, Chechen "bun" initially derives from the Armenian word "buyn" () for "nest" or "lair", from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeuH-no-, from *bʰeuH- (“to be; to grow”). Cognates include Sanskrit भुवन (bhúvana, "world"), Albanian "bun" ("shepherd's hut") and Middle Persian بن "bun" ("bottom"). Additionally, according to Urartologist Paul Zimansky, Hurro-Urartian "-khi" is a plural/tribal denotation and not a hydronym, rendering Jaimoukha's theory incorrect.
