Usage notes

  • The word is sometimes used without a definite article as in English: Irak, in Irak. In this case, the genitive is always Iraks, for example Iraks Hauptstadt – "Iraq's capital".
  • More commonly, however, the definite article is used with the name: der Irak, im Irak. In this case, the genitive usually is des Irak, although des Iraks is also correct: die Hauptstadt des Irak(s) – "the capital of Iraq".
  • The plural refers to the Arabian or Arab Iraq and the Persian Iraq.

Etymology

From Dutch Irak, from Arabic الْعِرَاق (al-ʕirāq, Iraq), of uncertain derivation. Medieval Arabic uses ‘Iraq’ as a geographical term for the area in the south and center of the modern Iraq. Some Arabic sources say that Iraq comes from عَرِيق (ʕarīq, deep-rooted), from عِرْق (ʕirq, root), while others say it is from Middle Persian's Middle Persian ˀl'k' (/erāg/, lowlands), due to historic rule from Iraq's plateau-situated neighbor, Persia.
