Middle Armenian

Etymology

Related to Northern Kurdish var̄ik (“chick, young of chicken; female chicken, hen”), Central Kurdish باڕ‎ (barr, “immature”), باڕۆکە‎ (barroke), dialectal واڕۆکە‎ (warroke), Southern Kurdish واڕِگ‎ (warrig), Laki ڤاڕِک‎ (varrik), Hawrami ۋاڕوْکە‎ (ʋāřɔka), Zazaki varrik, varrike (“pullet, chick”), Talysh верә (verä, “pullet”), Southern Luri [script needed] (bāřīk, “a hen which lays an egg for the first time”), Georgian ვარია (varia, “pullet”).

Probably an Iranian borrowing. Compare Avestan 𐬬𐬁𐬭𐬆𐬔𐬀𐬥‎ (vārəgan, “a kind of predatory bird”), which may contain *𐬬𐬁𐬭𐬀-‎ (*vāra-, “a kind of domestic fowl”) and 𐬔𐬀𐬥-‎ (gan-, “to kill”).

An alternative (Old Armenian?) form վառեակ (vaṙeak) is recorded in several dictionaries,[1][2] but its place of attestation is unknown. Modern literary վառյակ (vaṙyak) is a learned borrowing from this presumed form.

Dialectal Turkish ferik, feruk, ferük, firig, firik, Azerbaijani fərik (“young chick”) are sometimes cited as related terms or borrowings from Armenian, but they are probably from Arabic فَرْخ‎ (farḵ, “young chick”).
