Proto-Turkic

Etymology

Compared to or perhaps related to Kott kûra (“belt, rope”) and Assan kura (“rope”) as argued for by Helimski (1997)^[1] and partially by Khabtagaeva (2019)^[2]. However, Kottic words most likely come from Proto-Yeniseian *tɬuwdʳ-a (“rope”), see there for more.

Noun

*kur

belt, girdle, strap
