Institut Kurde de Paris - Kurmanci (http://www.institutkurde.org/publications/kurmanci/telechargement/)

The link is to a newsletter archive (1987-2006), with each issue of "Kurmanci" giving you several pages of topic-specific terminology in Kurdish, Turkish, French and English. Not quite full-blown tech dictionaries, but handly little references in convenient pdf.

I'm new, so may have missed previous posts on this topic, but the Washington Kurdish Institute (www.kurd.org) is a good resource for all things Kurdish here in D.C. I know they were very enthusiastic in their support of Michael Chyet's Kurdish Dictionary Kurmanji-English, published by Yale University Press in 2002. From Chyet's bio: "This dictionary focuses on modern usage of the Kurmanji dialect of Kurdish, which is spoken in Turkey, Syria, Iran, Iraq and parts of the former Soviet Union."

Cheers,
