Persian

Alternative forms

• آخُر (âxor)

Etymology

From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Middle Persian ʾhwl (āxwarr, “manger; stable”). Compare Northern Kurdish axur, afirr, Central Kurdish ئاخوڕ (āxurr), Pashto آخور (āxor, “manger, trough; stable, stall”) and Iranian borrowings: Old Armenian ախոռ (axoṙ), Georgian ახორი (axori), ახური (axuri), Classical Syriac ܐܟܘܪ (ʾāḵwar). The Iranian word literally means “a place for eating” and ultimately goes back to (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Iranian *hwar- (“to eat, consume”), on which see خوردن (xordan).
