pez

From Proto-Iranian *pácu, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *páću, from Proto-Indo-European *péḱu.


star

Akin to Central Kurdish ستار (star, “retire, retreat, take refuge”), originally a descendant of Proto-Indo-European *steh₂- but now conflated with Arabic سِتَار (sitār), hence the second sense. Proposed to be the name of an ancient deity by some based on the common expression "Ya Star!" ("O Star!", said to ask God for endurance and strength).

star lê hatin ()

to find the strength to, to find the courage to

sitirîn ()

to calm down, to mellow down, to stay put

standing, the ability to stand or stay at one's place, strength, energy; not worrying or being bored, calmness.

A suffix for showing endearment mostly used by children towards family members


man

From earlier *mandin, which is preserved in the present stem mîn-; akin to Central Kurdish مان (man), Southern Kurdish مەندن (menin), Zazaki menden, Gurani مەندەی (meney), Talysh mande, Persian ماندن. The form shift from -and- to -a- is after when -and- standardized as the past stem final of transitive verbs, but has been preserved in mandî (“tired”).

ber

Slightly under the influence of Persian بر (“on, over”) (akin to wer (“prefix meaning "around"”)) but from Proto-Indo-European *per- (“front; around”). The change in meaning of this word in Northwest Iranic languages can be seen in Parthian [script needed] (par, “to; at”) also.

cog

(temporal and spatial) before; in front of; toward

were

second-person singular imperative of hatin


rim

desc

→ Armenian: ռըմ (ṙəm) (Van, Moks, Shatakh)

From Arabic رُمْح (rumḥ). For rimb, compare the probably related Old Armenian ռումբ (ṙumb).


du

From Proto-Iranian *dwáH (compare Persian دو (do), Pashto دوه (dwa), Avestan 𐬛𐬎𐬎𐬀 (duua)), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *dwáH (compare Sanskrit द्व (dvá), Marathi दोन (don), Hindi दो (do)/Urdu دو (do), Punjabi ਦੋ (do)), from Proto-Indo-European *dwóh₁ (compare Russian два (dva), Lithuanian du, Greek δύο (dýo), Spanish dos, English two).


sal

From Proto-Iranian *carHdáh. May have developped under the influence of Persian سال, as it may be in other Iranic languages, since it occurs as derived from *serd in more isolated Northwest Iranic languages, compare Zazaki serre, Parthian [Term?] (/sarδ/) and also Northern Kurdish sere, navsere.


bo

Uncertain, akin to Central Kurdish بۆ (bo), Talysh bo (“for”). The form ji bona is ji boneya (lit. "from the cause of, because"), compare Central Kurdish لە بۆنە (le bone, “because”), Southern Kurdish وە بوونەی (we bûney, “for”). One theory is relation with the Middle Iranic preposition *û (Related to Parthian [Term?] (/ō/, “to; for”), Middle Persian [Term?] (/ō/, “to; for”)) with bi (“with”) in front of it; compare also dialectal Central Kurdish لۆ (lo, “for”), synonymous with بۆ (bo) (with li (“on; in”) instead). Alternatively, an abbreviation of ji boneya and similar forms, the likes of which exists in Kurdish languages (compare seba from sebeb, semeda from sedem, بە هۆی (be hoy, “with the reason of”) etc.). This would mean that it has largely replaced jê ra and ئەڕا (erra). The main noun bone (“cause; pretext”) maybe related to bihane (“excuse”), Central Kurdish بیانوو (byanû), Persian بهانه. A derivation from بەرەو (berew)/berev ("towards") has been proposed by some, but that comes with phonetic problems.
Consider also Persian با, which explains the Talysh word (-a- sounds become -o- in Talysh). Therefore, the Talysh word may not be a cognate at all.


kin

kmr-adj

kin (comparative kintir, superlative herî kin)

kintir (comparative)

hûn

From Proto-Indo-European *yúHs. Cognate with Avestan 𐬫𐬏𐬲𐬆𐬨 (yūžəm), Sanskrit यूयम् (yūyám), English you.


file

From Arabic فَلَّاح (fallāḥ), from Classical Syriac ܦܠܚܐ (pallāḥā). Sedentary Armenians called so after their way of life by nomadic Kurds. Doublet of pale.

ol

Compare Turkish yol (“way, road”), similar to tariqa and rêç (“path”), rêûresm (“ceremony”), rêbaz (“method”), etc. Compare oldaş (“friend, companion”) (from yoldaş). Originally only limited to Êzdi jargon term for "sect, cult" to refer to the Adawi order. It was popularized in the 90s favored over the native dîn to mean "religion" in Northern Kurdish media in an assumption that this word is "more Kurdish", as opposed to the native one which is the exact same of Turkish din; therefore a false attempt of purism.


li

Cognate with Central Kurdish لە (le), from earlier *ne < *en. Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *en.

ew li hespekî siwar bû

li kêlîka dirust

-er

Most probably not a cognate of English -er or Latin -ōr or -tōr, and instead a back-formation from -ker (a variant of -ger (“-ist”)) understood as "k-" (present stem of kirin) + "-er". Natively only exists with the most basic verbs such as kirin (-ker), birin (-ber), xistin (-xer or -xîner or -êxer), dan (-der), anîn/înan (-îner)... Later also conflated with -kar (“suffix indicating a job or duty”) and -dar (“suffix indicating a possessor”). Popularized in the 20th century under the influence of similar suffixes in European languages. Before that (and now natively) diminutives such as -ok, -oke, -ek, -ik was used to form agent nouns; which are also present participle suffixes.
Despite being less likely, can still be from Proto-Indo-European *-tḗr, but the -r- is lost in Northwestern Iranic and that would have given *-it, *-id or lost entirely depending on the position, compare Persian برادر and Northern Kurdish bira.

bû (“to be”) + -er → bûyer (“event”)

destpêkirin (“to start”) + -er → destpêker (“starter”)

used to form nouns referring to doer or who works on something
