The Kur (Russian: Кур) is a river in central Russia. It flows through the city of Kursk, where it falls into the Tuskar River (Russian: Тускарь), which then falls into the Seym. The name is related to a dialect word kur'ya 'long and narrow river bay,' which itself may be a borrowing from Komi kurya 'bay' (although it has been suggested that the latter is borrowed from Russian).
Famous quotes containing the word river:
“the folk-lore
Of each of the senses; call it, again and again,
The river that flows nowhere, like a sea.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
