"kurmanc" meaning in Northern Kurdish

See kurmanc in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /kʊɾˈmɑːnd͡ʒ/
Etymology: Disputed. The initial -kur- is obviously Kurd, but theories vary on the -manc- part. Chyet considers it to be a modern Kurdish equivalent of Mede, this falls in line with Kurdish sound changes as in *Mād ("Mede") > *mānd (n-extension before d/t/č/c sounds; as in tanc, derence, fersend...) > mānc (as in gazind > dialectal gazinc); Kurd-Mede. However in Zand-i Wahman yasn, a Middle Persian text, the word /karmān/ is used together and synonymously with /kurd/, apparently connected to Kurmanc, Kerman and Kermanshah. Might originally be the name of a tribe. Head templates: {{kmr-noun}} kurmanc ?
