@Vahagn Petrosyan Seems like this Wanderwort has spilled into India too, see Hindi बत्तख़ (battax). Any ideas on how the ending -x got added? That's not a native sound for us, it's usually indicative of recent Persian/Arabic borrowing. —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करेंयोगदान) 03:03, 3 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

@AryamanA: I don't know. Perhaps it is the Iranian suffix -ակ (-ak). --Vahag (talk) 08:22, 3 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
