@Calak, is Kurdish varik confined to Kurmanji? If so, it may be borrowed from Armenian. --Vahag (talk) 11:14, 8 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

I can't judge about this. It is a commom word in all Kurdish dialects, so why should we take NK from Armenian? Theoretically OIr. *-w > NK v- has evidence.
NK. fi/erîk, Ck ferîk(e) mean "unripe plant". In Azerbaijani (Zanjani accent) fərik means "pullet". Are you sure all of these are from Armenian?--Calak (talk) 13:55, 8 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
If it is common in other dialects, then we don't have to assume a borrowing. The f- forms are sometimes cited as Armenian borrowings. See Bläsing. --Vahag (talk) 14:29, 8 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
