quzilqurt

Akin to Central Kurdish قوزڵقورت (quzillqurt), from a contraction of quz (“cunt”) and daqurtandin (“to swallow”). Compare Arabic زقوم. The word must initially have been an interjection which then evolved into either a name for certain plants or insects on those plants, depending on the dialect. The insect sense is probably because of confusion with Turkic kızıl kurt, meaning "red worm". Compare Iraqi Arabic قزلقرت (qozalqort), borrowed from Kurdish.
Most probably not a direct Turkic loan because of the sheer vastness of the word throughout all Kurdish languages and dialects, existing in almost every part of Kurdistan.

A small, poisonous insect or an animal found in grassy areas. Known for being toxic, which can be fatal if ingested by animals.

Dest ji xwarina wê quzilqurtê ber de êdî!

(vulgar) shit, an intensifier that refers to objects, often something consumed.


quzilqurt

Ey, quzilqurt! Me derîk da ne xist.

Quzilqurt na!

Quzilqurt! Te guh ê mn br!

Ez ê viya na kim.
 Quzilqurt tu na!

I am not doing this.
 Like hell you don't!

(vulgar) like hell, the hell, interjection for a contrarian response.

Em ên çûn nê me quzilqurt dît.


kurmanc

/kʊɾˈmɑːnd͡ʒ/

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, compare Kirmal and Kirmancekiman (subdialect of Leki).

Sedentary non-tribal Kurds who speak Northern Kurdish.

Ne ji bo sahib-rewacan
Belkî ji bo biçûk êd Kurmancan.

Not for those prevelant
But for the minors of Kurds
