@Vahagn Petrosyan: This should be cognate with Old Iranian *gāri̯a-, see Fritz, Matthias; Klein, Jared; Joseph, Brian, eds. (2017) Handbook of Comparative and Historical Indo-European Linguistics, v. II, page 571.--Calak (talk) 11:33, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Calak, how would a "stone heap" sense be connected? --Vahag (talk) 16:20, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
- Compare Yagnobi γirék (“clay”) (and probably Central Kurdish قوڕ (qurr, “mud”)) from same root Old Iranian *grai̯(a)-(ka)-.--Calak (talk) 22:35, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
- From what I understand, *gāri̯a- and *grai̯(a)- are different. The first does not fit with the meaning, the second with phonetics. --Vahag (talk) 13:18, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
