Iranian Languages

"Ziba" means "beautiful" but "Baji" is a Turkic word, I think "Ziba Baji" is an Azeri phrase, the Persian word for sister is "Xahar", another word is "Hamshire" which originally means "milk shared", so can mean both brother and sister but it is mostly used for "sister".

There is no suffix, like English -ess, which forms nouns denoting female gender in the Modern Persian language, of course the suffix -dokht can be used form some words, like "Shahdokht" (daughter of the king) for "Princess".

Hurrian is a very old language, even proabably older than proto-Indo-European language, for example I had mentioned in another thread that the proto-IE word *bhurgh (tower) has a Hurro-Urartian origin, so Middle Persian burg, Armenian burgn and proto-Germanic *burg come from this word, of course similar words can be seen in the Semitic languages too, like Aramaic burgin and Arabic burj.

Kurds lived in region where ancient Gutians, who were probably a Germanic people, lived, I had said that there was no "L" sound in the old Iranian languages, so it has been usually changed to "R", for example Latin gelu (Cold) has been changed to English Cold (g->k) and Persian/Kurdish Sard (g->s & l->r).

The Germanic word for head is "Kulla" (g->k), the Persian word is "Sar" (g->s & l->r) but "Kalle" is also used (Kula means hat), that is really interesting that the Kurdish word is "Kura" (just l->r), that is similar to Persian "Kura" which means "colt" (just l->r) and of course "child" (Germanic Kult), like Kurdish "Kur".

Cheers then, guys. Great stuff.
