Northern Kurdish

Central Kurdish	کورد (kurd)
Zazaki	kird

Etymology

Cognate with Zazaki Kırd. Of unclear origin. A native word would traditionally yield *kur in Northern Kurdish as other -rd-(and also -rg-)combinations do. However some words have been exceptional, such as mêrg. See Kurd for theories.
