  I have no idea because I can't find any resources which go into any detail 
about the differences, let alone that specify whether a word is North 
Azerbaijani, South Azerbaijani or both. Even all the Wiktionaries I checked do 
not distinguish North and South Azerbaijani and only list the script when 
giving the different forms (e.g. en 
<https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/k%C3%B6p%C9%99k>, de 
<https://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/pi%C5%9Fik>).
  
  Also, according to the English Wikipedia's Azerbaijani language page 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azerbaijani_language#Writing_systems>, the 
Arabic script was the only script used before 1929, so I would expect the 
Arabic script versions to be valid historical forms even in areas where the 
Arabic script is no longer used.
