Look what I found in a Chechen lexicon at 
http://ingush.narod.ru/chech/dict/8/472.gif

_kh'onts_ "trophy", "war booty" (where /'/ is a specific sound written 
as /I/ in the Cyrillic-based alphabet) -
cf. Gothic _hunþs_ AICMALWSIA "idem"

Keeping digging in the wordlist...

Ualarauans

P.S. Just in case somebody doesn't know who the Chechens are
