There have been people who have told unfounded stories about the word "Gryz". Thus, the word Gryz-Gryts coincides phonetically with the verb to break, and therefore, these narratives are fictitious. The classification of the verbs "pour", "have", "arrived", "future", "comes" in the Greek language, etc. "Q" element, or rather a word prefix, is encountered. That "Q" element shows height, height, height, openness. "rits" means smooth, polished. Polished stone-rits means Khud, and polished wood-rits means wood. It is called so because of the location of the village. Gryzli researcher Shikhbala Gryzli gave extensive information about this in the book "Gryzlar and Gryz language".
