Verb

tur

  1. imperative of ture

Latvian

Etymology 1

Traditionally, tur is derived from kur ‎(“where”) by analogy with pairs like kas ‎(“who, what”) : tas ‎(“that”), kā ‎(“how”) : tā ‎(“thus, like that”). A more recent suggestion is that tur may come from Proto-Baltic *tur, from the zero grade *tr̥ of Proto-Indo-European *ter-, the source of several nouns, adverbs or prepositions meaning “through,” “across,” “away”: German durch ‎(“through”) (compare Old High German duruh, from *tr̥-kʷe), Breton treu ‎(“beyond”), dre ‎(“through”) (*tre), Latin trāns ‎(“over, across, beyond”). The meaning in Latvian would have been changed to “there” under the influence of kur.[1]

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): [tùɾ]
