Etymology

[edit]

Usually considered of unknown origin.[1][2] But compare Persian اشغار (ašğâr, badger),[3] اشغر (ošğor, porcupine; badger),[4] اشغور (ašğur, ošğur, badger),[5] شغار (šağâr, badger, brock, kind of stinking weasel; urchin, hedgehog),[6][7] شغر (šoğr, šoğor, hedgehog; badger),[8] شغور (šoğur, 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).
