• English-Ishkashmi-Zebaki-Wakhi-Yazghulami Vocabulary

Several possibilities, which one is true is uncertain. Perhaps from ew + -ek (lit. "an it") or we + -ek (lit. "a so") or from "ew e ku" ("it is that") or from we + ku ("so that"). For the last two compare nek from ne ku ("unless"; lit. "not that"). Compare Central Kurdish وەکوو (wekû, “as, like”) which seems to rule out a few of these with the -û-, but it's possible it is loaned from Northern Kurdish. Dialectally used in the same way the -ek suffix is used (wekî, weke, weka, etc.).
