Persian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Probably an ancient Aramaic borrowing, given that widespread Northeastern Neo-Aramaic ܩܰܠܩܳܐ (qalqa, “cardoon”) has another widespread variant ܩܰܩܢܳܐ (qaqna).[1][2] For ܩ (q) giving ک (k) see کما (komâ, “Ferula”), for the ر (r) شنار (šenâr, “swimming; horehound”) in place of شنا (šenâ), though trailing extension of a root by ر (r) within Semitic is also very often observed,[3] so either way a match is statistically likely.

- (Iran, formal) IPA(key): [kʰʲæɲ.ɡʲǽɹ]
