I would be most grateful if someone could kindly clarify what is the correct Kurdish term and post that here in < proz.com > and also send that term[s] directly to me at shfranke [at] hotmail [dot] com.
Many thanks... supass... Today is Sunday, August 10, 2014.

Dear Franke,
the term "Peshmergheh" or "Peshmerga" or "Peshmerge" (Kurdish pronunciation [pɛʃmærɡæ]; Kurdish: پێشمەرگە Pêşmerge} *
Meaning (generel): fighter, warrior, guerrilla Meaning (word for word): (پێش) Pesh = before, (مەرگ) marg = death Peshmerga = before dying or dying stands before
The wrods "fghting for the homeland", "war" and "dying" are linked in all languages The activity "fighting" for a hopeless Kurdish fighter or guerrilla is like dying.
In Kurdish Sorani (written with arabic letters) this word is a compound (written together) پێشمەرگە
In Kurdish Curmanji (written with latin letters) is compound too "Pêşmerge"
