بنیاتى وشەى (مەلە) و چارەنوسى لە زمانى کوردیدا

Abstract

Mala is one of the oldest Kurdish words that, throughout its long history, has fought for survival and has not allowed other words to shake its position.

The potential and significance of a word may vary. For example, the word can be a member of the semantic field “separation”, “transportation”, and “sports game”. Such semantic fields are not only found in Kurdish but in many other languages as well.

To date, no independent study has been conducted in Kurdish or other Iranian languages, to cover the semantic, lexical, morphological, and etymological aspects of the word Mala. Hence, we deemed it necessary to conduct the study which falls into an introduction and two parts in addition to the conclusions, and as follows:

Part one explores the semantic, lexical, and morphological characteristics of the words “mala” and “malakirdin” while part two examines the etymology of the word “mala”.
