If we start from the forms with <b class="b3">ζ-</b>, the word agrees with a Celtic word for [[roe]], Corn. [[yorch]], Bret. [[iourch]] [[roe]], Welsh [[iwrch]] [[caprea mas]], IE <b class="b2">*i̯ork-o-</b>. The <b class="b3">δ-</b>forms perhaps folketymological after [[δέρκομαι]]. [[ἴορκος]] etc. may be Celtic (Galatic) LW [loanword]. - Sommer Lautst. 147f.
