Why this artickle is in kategory "Russian phrases"?It's not Russian word.

Hey, At first I want to say that Aul is a turkic and not a Slavic word,

The second thing wold be that no, Svanetian villages are not called Auls,

And third, Gunib is not the birthplace of Imam Shamil, he was born in Gymri (Gümri), Gunib is the place where he was captured.
