Congrats, Rikker! I enjoyed my years at SUNY.
I had a year-long course on the language when I was an undergrad. (Taught by Thomas Lambdin himself.)
Enjoyed it immensely.
I will note, however, that almost all the texts you read will be about martyrs! Some people enjoy that; others maybe not so much.

This particular root is reconstructible at least to Georgian-Zan *ğu(d)-, as it is found in Megrelian and Laz:
Megrelian ღუდა ğuda warm, heated
Laz ღუმი ğumi dust, sand
Laz ღუმიარი ğumiari smoke
As with many expressive roots, the specific semantics of each word varies greatly.
Megrelian ღუდა ğuda warm, heated
Laz ღუმი ğumi dust, sand
Laz ღუმიარი ğumiari smoke

For anyone wondering, some possible dog names have survived from cuneiform sources.
On tiny dog figurines found buried under a palace in Nineveh, Iraq are inscriptions that seem to be names.
