իշղար

Armenian

Etymology

Usually considered of unknown origin.[1][2] But compare Persian اشغار (ašğār, badger),[3] اشغر (ušğur, porcupine; badger),[4] اشغور (ašğūr, ušğūr, badger),[5] شغار (šağār, badger, brock, kind of stinking weasel; urchin, hedgehog),[6][7], شغر (šuğr, šuğur, hedgehog; badger),[8] شغور (šuğūr, badger; jackal)[9]. Further compare Ossetian зыгъа́рӕг (zyǧáræg, badger), from зыгъа́р (zyǧár, having a white spot on the forehead (of animals)), to which are supposedly related Ossetian ӕсгӕ́р (æsgǽr, having a white stripe on the neck (of animals)) and Burushaski iškark (yellow).[10] See also Old Armenian ճագար (čagar).
