قەلب

Central Kurdish

Etymology

Possibly from Middle Persian 𐭪𐭫𐭯 (kalb, kerp, “form, shape, body”), related to Persian کرب (kerb, “body, form”). The phonetic shifts /r/ → /l/ and /k/ → /q/ are common in Kurdish. The Middle Persian term is cognate with Latin corpus (“body”), both from Proto-Indo-European *krep- *krp- (“body, form”).
