Where did the final -k in Armenian and Georgian come form? Did the Middle Persian form end in a consonant? --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 08:58, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Middle Persian xarbū̆čak, xarbuzak are attested. These are diminutives. See TMN. --Vahag (talk) 09:08, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Your source doesn't mention any Middle Persian text as reference, if you know, please mention it, otherwise you should remove this obscure Middle Persian word from the etymology of this word. -Mojshahmiri (talk) 08:06, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
See also ـه (-e), the suffix is from Middle Persian -ag ([ag], earlier pronunciation [ak]). --Z 15:24, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Whence Armenian -ակ (-ak). --Vahag (talk) 16:23, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The form of the word shows that it is Iranian. Compare کمبزه (komboze), دالبزه (dālboze).--Chernell (talk) 20:41, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
