Hi, You know that the 'book' in 'bookmark' is refering to the book/n/, not book/v/. The original word bookmark/v/ is kind of tricky, as it's not listed in dictionaries, and is a invented to be used in browsers. BTW, the standard Persian translation for bookmark/n/ is "choob-alef". It may seem weird, but better we stick with it and spread it around, instead of replacing with a new word. I remember the word was there back in early 90s in Persian MS Windows 3.1s. And perhaps bookmark/v/ can be translated as "choob-alef gozaashtan" or literally "choob-alef gozaardan".
