Central Kurdish
[edit]Originally meaning "great-grandchild" and "lineage", a metathesis version of نەوەتە (newete), from earlier *نەوەچە (*neweçe), from نەوە (newe, “grandchild”) + -چە (-çe, “diminutive suffix”). Compare نەوادە (newade, “grandchild”) of the Erdelani dialect, Northern Kurdish nevîçirrk (“great-grandchild”), Persian نواسه (navâse). For the phonetic shift compare ڕەتەوە (retewe, “race”) (from ڕەگ (reg, “root”) + -چە (-çe), = Northern Kurdish rehçik) and Northern Kurdish bineçe and binate.
