Comments:EDT 962, VEWT 190, ЭСТЯ 4, 147. Modern languages widely reflect *jarak 'weapon, armour' (Kirgh. ǯaraq, Uygh. jaraq etc., see ЭСТЯ 4, 139). This seems to be a contamination of the earlier attested *jarag 'readiness, opportunity' (derived from *jara- 'to be fit, suitable' q. v. sub *ǯắra; see EDT ibid.) and *jarɨk 'armour'.
