Subject:  Iranian / Turkic etymologies

Dear colleagues,

This query is about the three Farsi forms:

(1) _ham_ "also"
(2) _hame_ "all"
(3) _har_ "every"

and their cognates in other Iranian and Turkic languages.

My questions:

(a) What are the etymologies of these forms?  Are any of them
etymologically related?
(b) Is it possible to argue that any of them are synchronically related,
in Farsi or in any other modern language?

Thanks,

David

Dear Linguists,

Does anyone know what language is Mokilese and where it is spoken? The
textbook we are using for our intro course has a problem from this
language, and my students asked me where it is found, but I couldn't
find this information anywhere in my sources.

Thank you very much for any hints,


Asya Pereltsvaig
