Pre-Indoiranian Words in Kurdish

[hevalo27]

Iranian "mésh" for "sheep" can be from Akkadian "mash" 'goat'.

iranian or kurdish alone?
we say meh

what is with "here" for "go"?
we say bice u here, are both indoeuropiän?

[Johny English]

General Iranian, in Persian mísh, in Zazaki méshe.

Herre comes from "herro" (see the turkish idiom "ya herro ya merro" which is loaned from an older form of Kurmanji)

bice comes from bico (there are still dialects they use it), in Zazaki "sho!", Caspian "bisho!".

You can trace cún until to IE, "he-ro" < ron < *rew- < reften goes until to Old Aryan.
