tʾp̄k'

Middle Persian

Etymology

    From Proto-Iranian *tāpaka- (heater or baking place or cooking place), ultimately from *tap- (to warm up, heat), from Proto-Indo-European *tep- (be warm, be hot). Alternatively, from the homonymous Proto-Iranian root *tap- (flat), from the fact that a flat stone could serve as a cooking place. The contamination of both is also possible.

    Compare Baluchi تہافغ (thafaġ, oven), Sogdian [script needed] (tpʾkh /⁠tapāk⁠/, fever), Sanskrit तापक (tāpaka, heating, inflaming, refining; causing pain; fever; cooking stove).

    Noun

    tʾp̄k' • (tābag)
