Name

The word beji or berji (Southern Kurdish: بژی Bijî; برژی Birjî) is derived from the infinitive Berjanen (Southern Kurdish: برژانن Birjanin), which in southern Kurdish means toasting, and Beji or Berji means toasted. This is also the case with Peshi (Gurani: پشی Pişî), which is derived from the Horami infinitive Peshaney (Gurani: پشانەی Pişaney). Also, "bersaq" is the Arabicized of the Southern Kurdish word Berjiag/Bershiag (Sorani Kurdish: برژیاگ Birjiyag; برشیاگ Birşiyag), which is a past participle meaning "toasted".
