Kur (Kursk Oblast)

For other uses, see Kur River.

The Kur (Russian: Кур) is a river in central Russia. It flows through the city of Kursk, where it falls into the Tuskar, which then falls into the Seym. The name relates to a dialect word kur'ya ("long and narrow river bay"),^[1] which itself may represent a borrowing from Komi kurya 'bay' (although it has been suggested that the latter is borrowed from Russian).^[2]
