Abstract
A qualitative English-Kurdish study of lexical gaps in five theoretical-physics and popular-science books and their Kurdish translations, approximately 520,000 words as reported by the authors. It examines scientific words, eponyms and abbreviated forms, and discusses responses including triplets, borrowing, expansion and omission.
