kurt
Central Franconian
[edit]Alternative forms
[edit]- kurz, korz (Moselle Franconian)
- koot (Kölsch)
Etymology
[edit]From Old High German kurt, from Proto-West Germanic *kurt, from Latin curtus. The word was borrowed around the time when the High German consonant shift ceased to be active, which explains the Old High German doublets kurt and kurz. The fact that within Central Franconian the t-form is northern, may imply that it has been reinforced by Low Franconian and Low German influence.

Latvian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Baltic *kur-, from Proto-Indo-European *kr̥-, *ker- (“to cut”) (whence also cirst (“to cut, to strike”), q.v.). Given that in ancient times fire was produced by striking (e.g., a flint against metal), it is possible that kurt uguni originally meant “to cut, strike fire.” It is also possible that the meaning of kurt was influenced by that of a homophonous Proto-Indo-European stem *ker- (“to burn, to heat”) (whence karst, q.v., and also German Herd, English hearth), which may ultimately be related to *ker- (“to cut”). Cognates include Lithuanian kùrti (“to make fire; to make, to build, to found; to create; to run”), Old Prussian kūra (“he built”).[1]
Pronunciation
[edit]Verb
[edit]kurt (transitive, 1st conjugation, present kuru, kur, kur, past kūru)
- to light, to ignite (to make something start burning or producing heat)
