قرقاول
Persian
Etymology
Not considered a loan word by Persian dictionaries. Notably Dehkhoda has not written about the origins of this word. But compare Uyghur قىرغاۋۇل (qirghawul), Kazakh қырғауыл (qırğawıl), and also perhaps Mongolian гургуул (gurguul). (This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.)
