Etymological Study of Some Words in CaucasianPersian

Abstract

The article discusses some terms of Iranian origin in Caucasian Persian
(prev. North-Tati), which aren’t included in Iranian dialectological researches, in
particular on the Caucasian Persian language. An attempt was made to track the process
of formal changes of these lexemes through phonological rules of Caucasian Persian, as
well as through studying the causes of both formal and semantic changes of these lexical
units based on detection of their internal laws in the process of language development
and in comparison with other Iranian languages.
