In the matter of fact, translating into Arabic should not take in consideration the accents for we deal with pure Arabic. That’s why I find Bashmerga not accurate. This is my point of view. Thank you Brother.

Peshmergheh (Arabized & Anglicized versions of the Kurdish term for "those who face death")
Greetings... ahalan wa sahalan....
The term 'Peshmergheh' is the English version of the Kurdish term for "those who face death."
In the Kurdish alphabet (Kurdish is related to Persian, not Arabic) , the term consists actually of two terms "Pesh + mergheh" (hope the Kurdish RTL text displays here properly = پيش مرگه
The letter "ghain" shown in the posted Arabized rendition is closest to the letter "gheh" in Kurdish and Persian.
HTH.
Khair, in shaa' Allah.
