Talk:مرخ

@Fay Freak, I am not aware of an internal Armenian xr ~ rx fluctuation. There is ճախր (čaxr) ~ չարխ (čʻarx), but it reflects the fluctuation within Iranian. I now have doubts if մախր (maxr) can be explained by Modern Persian مرخ (marx). --Vahag (talk) 14:22, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

@Calak. Maybe you want to create the Kurdish or say something else. I’d claim that the Persian is from Arabic, even the definition looks like in Arabic dictionaries, comparing with عَفَار‎ (ʕafār). Fay Freak (talk) 14:25, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

@Fay Freak Asatrian derives Kurdish merx from Armenian, ultimately from Hurrian; but this can't explain Persian equivalent.

About xr/l ~ l/rx, this is a common development in New Persian; comapre NP surx MP suxr, NP nirx PIr. *ni-xri-, NP talx MP taxl, NP Balx, OP Bāxtri. But I am not aware of this development in Arabic loanwords.--Calak (talk) 08:31, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
