իշղար
Armenian
Etymology
Usually considered of unknown origin.[1][2] But compare Persian اشغار (ašğār, “badger”),[3] اشغر (ušğur, “porcupine; badger”),[4] اشغور (ašğūr, ušğūr, “badger”),[5] شغار (šağār, “badger, brock, kind of stinking weasel; urchin, hedgehog”),[6][7], شغر (šuğr, šuğur, “hedgehog; badger”),[8] شغور (šuğūr, “badger; jackal”)[9]. Further compare Ossetian зыгъа́рӕг (zyǧáræg, “badger”), from зыгъа́р (zyǧár, “having a white spot on the forehead (of animals)”), to which are supposedly related Ossetian ӕсгӕ́р (æsgǽr, “having a white stripe on the neck (of animals)”) and Burushaski iškark (“yellow”).[10] See also Old Armenian ճագար (čagar).
Pronunciation
