Abstract:

In this article a new etymology is presented for an important cultural “Wanderwort”, “garlic”. The author uses the earlier elaborated etymologies of Turkic, Mongolic and Indo-European languages by explaining the well-known Turkic sarmysak 'garlic' as an Indo-European loan word. This explanation is based on Iranian data which were not used by the linguists before.
