This is not a family, so what does this mean? This is a bit like 'Terms derived from African languages'... —CodeCat 20:22, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Based on the Old Armenian entries which are in that category I think it means that the term is derived from an unknown language native to the Caucasus, instead of PIE. Leaning towards keep, but I’d like to see what others have to say before voting. Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV 20:56, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, it's intended for terms which come from a Caucasian language, but you don't know which one. On that basis, it should probably be kept (see however the below) -- Liliana 21:04, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Until further research clears up the relationship between North-East, North-West, South Caucasian and Hurro-Urartian languages and the paths by which Armenian borrowed from them, this category will be useful. --Vahag (talk) 19:37, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
