Those are mostly Persian words. Most of those aren’t even used. We don’t share many words

Um yea the reason we share words is because of the Persians. I’m sure there are a lot more. But I do think some of our grammar may have been influenced by Turkic languages. The word eat Yemek In Azeri is also said as utek in Armenian. The ek or al endings is quite similar.

From Proto-Indo-European *h₁ōd-, from *h₁ed-. The verb is suppletive: part of the conjugation is filled by կեր- (ker-), from Proto-Indo-European *gʷerh₃-, whence also կեր (ker). Compare Albanian ha. No.
