 * Yes Vahag, those mean "apricot", but in my dialect means "dog rose".--Calak (talk) 14:09, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I added your parallels. Thanks for offering them. There are also parallels in the Pamir languages, which I did not add yet. The relationship between all these forms is unclear to me, but the more reference points we have the easier the job of the future researcher. --Vahag (talk) 15:35, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
