Northern Kurdish

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Related to Zazaki vakur, ultimately uncertain. From ba +‎ kur; the latter perhaps meaning hard, strong and connected to xurt (strong, hard) and English hard, signifying the direction from which the cold and hard wind blows. Perhaps an ancient mythological concept to seperate "good wind" (northern wind) from "bad wind" (southern wind). Compare başûr and also Gurani واسارد (wasard, north; literally "cold wind").
