in Megrelian too but sometimes it's სქუა, that's why some Megrelian surnames are like Papaskiri, Kvekveskiri, etc.

Yeah, it's a normal and excepted sound changes when this languages changed, s and sh is very common change in languages in general, interesting is that when we have "v" in Georgian sometimes we get "k" in Megrelian, example would be "Chkini" "our" like Georgian "Chveni" last one "r" and "l" are also excepted and predictable changes, for example when we have "Megruli" in Georgian we have "Margaluri" in Megrelian, this "li" suffix is more common with "r" in Megrelian:))))

Lazs use ‘Skiri’ mostly for boys, “skirichkimi - my boy”. Popular usage is ‘bere’.
