A friend of mine who is a linguist dealing with "protolanguages" told me that one of thr greatest mysteres of the European languages is the connection between the Basque and the Georgian; apparently, basque does not relate to anything else!
The Latin letters "HM" mentioned by Rivkin are often seen next to the "running wolf" mark on Solingen blades. Allegedly, these are initials of Henry Montmorancy, one of the French crusaders, whose soldiers went to the Caucasus and brought the "ters maimun" with them.
