дервен

• дервент (dervent)

From Ottoman Turkish دربند (derbent, dervent, “narrows, pass; derbend”) through Greek δερβένι (dervéni, “narrows, pass”), ultimately from Classical Persian دربند (darband, “narrows, pass”). The alternative form дервент (dervent) is attested later, and was formed from дервен (derven) under the influence of Turkish.
