German
Etymology
Borrowed from Central Kurdish پێشمەرگە (pêşmerge). The use of -a for the final vowel is probably influenced by other European languages (including English) where this is done to avoid a fronted pronunciation of the letter -g-. The Kurdish vowel is the same in the last two syllables (phonetically ).
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /pɛʃˈmɛrɡa/, /ˌpeːʃ-/
Noun
Peschmerga m (strong, genitive Peschmergas or Peschmerga, plural Peschmerga or Peschmergas or Peschmergen or Peschmerge)
- Peshmerga (Kurdish fighter)
Usage notes
- The form Peschmerge seems to be somewhat more common in the plural than the singular, meaning that there is probably a false belief among some language users that it is a plural form (likely based on the Italian plural formation as in pizza → pizze).
