it might be interesting to a few to know that this word is eerie-ingly similar to the Hindi word 'langur' - a monkey like creature (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_langur). The animal is characterized by a certain 'listless indolence; dreaminess' (as per definition 2 in the dictionary). — This unsigned comment was added by 122.160.142.191 (talk) at 13:20, 9 March 2010.
- The words are unrelated, though. Langur is from a Hindi word, and may be derived from the Sanskrit meaning "having a tail". — SGconlaw (talk) 19:44, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
