@Calak: Hi, what do the Kurdish descendants mean? It'd be great if you included the meanings as well. -- माधवपंडित (talk) 02:25, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

@माधवपंडित Hi. It means "illegitimate" but actually "bad semen". I think it can be cognate with Avestan 𐬬𐬀𐬉𐬘𐬀𐬵 (vaējah) (Kur. b- < PIr. *w-, Kur. ž < PIr. *ǰ), not with PIr. *bíHĵam (since PIr. *ĵ > Kur. z, like Avestan).--Calak (talk) 13:49, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

@Calak: Oh thanks. I guess you're right, the meaning is a problem and like you just said, the expected sound changes are also different. -- माधवपंडित (talk) 15:23, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
