• More commonly, however, the definite article is used with the name:der Irak, im Irak. In this case, the genitive usually isdes Irak, althoughdes 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.

Irak

1. Iraq (acountry inWestern Asia, in theMiddle East; official name:Iraki Köztársaság)

FromDutchIrak, fromArabicالْعِرَاق(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 fromعَرِيق(ʕarīq,“deep-rooted”), fromعِرْق(ʕirq,“root”), while others say it is from Middle Persian'sMiddle Persianˀl'k'(/⁠erāg⁠/,“lowlands”), due to historic rule from Iraq's plateau-situated neighbor, Persia.
