Proto-Slavic

Etymology

    Onomatopoeic; also interjection *kury!. Compare *kokotъ (“rooster”), *kokošь (“hen”). Related to Lithuanian kurtinỹs (“grouse”), Greek κούρκος (koúrkos, “turkey”) (probably a Slavic loanword). A connection with Slovak kúriť (“to run”),[1] Lithuanian kùrti (“to run”), else meaning “to smoke, to kindle” (☞ *kūrìti), is also possible. Compare Bulgarian тока́чка (tokáčka, “guinea fowl”), Russian токова́ть (tokovátʹ, “to display courtship (for birds)”) from Proto-Slavic *tokati (“to flow, to propel (a fluid)”).
