Overleg:khebernivis

Hi!

Sorry, I cannot speak Dutch, therefore, English.

1. The word "khebernivis" is Kurdish but it is written according to English translitteration. In Kurdish it word be xebernivîs which literally means "news writing" or "word writing".

2. The word is a neologism. And it is not even formed in a way Kurdish neologisms are formed. Otherwise it would be xebername = lit. wordbook. Even this would not be accepted because "xeber" is used only in some marginal dialects to mean "word" whereas its general meaning is "news". It is sometimes used to mean "newsletter" or "newspaper". "Xeber" is a loanword. Its plural is "exbar".

I think this entry should be removed.

If you need the Kurdish word for dictionary, there are at least these words:

• ferheng (meaning also "culture" which is better known as "çande" or "tore" in Kurdish)
• peyvname (peyv = word; name = book; letter)
• bêjename (peyv = word; name = book; letter)
