- Fähnrich, Heinz (2019) Der Erbwortschatz der Kartwelsprachen [The inherited vocabulary of Kartvelian languages] (in German), Wiesbaden: Reichert Verlag, page 76, seemingly attempts to overcome irregular *l → r in Svan by reconstructing *xor- instead and instead of Georgian სახლი (saxli, “house”) adducing Georgian ახორი (axori, “stall”) which is an Iranian borrowing (compare Persian آخور (âxor))
