Kerasian
Alternative forms
• دوفوك (dufuk) (obsolete)
Etymology
From Late Middle Kerasian دوهوك - duhuk, from Early Middle Kerasian دوْوهوك - douhuk, 'دوْوهوك - douhukə, دوْوهوكوْ - douhuko, from Old Kerasian دوْٰهوكوْ - dōhuko, from North Aradeshi dowofuko ("pelican"), from dowo ("bag") + fuko ("beak"), from Aradeshi mdomo ("bag") + mfuko ("beak") respectively.
Notes
In Old Kerasian, word initial /f/ became /h/ which later became /ʔ/, a glottal stop. This is the only sound change that happened to /f/ and as said earlier, only took place at the start of words. However, dowofuko became Old Kerasian dōhuko despite /f/ not being at the start of the word. In fact, the word was being pronounced /doːˈfuk.o/ rather than /doːˈhuk.o/ and stayed so throughout Old Kerasian until the pronunciation matched the spelling by Middle Kerasian becoming /ˈdou.huk/. The most obvious of many suggestions is that the spelling was influenced by its latter stem, fuko. Since /f/ was word-initial, the word became huko.
The preferred use of duhuk over other synonyms that were more used beforehand is due to one of said synonyms, var, being too similar to another var, which meant 'sea' instead of 'pelican', and the other, venami, not being much in use anyways. Var is still used in poetry and writing to mean 'pelican' but in conversation would be understood as 'sea'.
