Usage notes

• As a more flexible equivalent for English pure use the adjective rein, especially in moral and other figurative senses.
• Due to the semantic constraints, the compared forms, especially the comparative purer, are infrequent.
• Pur may at times be postpositioned, especially when the noun has no article or determiner with it. This use has been generalised from the context of food and drink, where it is also found with some other adjectives (e.g. Kaffee schwarz for schwarzer Kaffee).

Verb

tur

1. imperative of ture

Latvian

Etymology 1

Traditionally, tur is derived from kur (“where”) by analogy with pairs like kas (“who, what”) : tas (“that”), k? (“how”) : t? (“thus, like that”). A more recent suggestion is that tur may come from Proto-Baltic *tur, from the zero grade *tr? of Proto-Indo-European *ter-, the source of several nouns, adverbs or prepositions meaning “through,” “across,” “away”: German durch (“through”) (compare Old High German duruh, from *tr?-k?e), Breton treu (“beyond”), dre (“through”) (*tre), Latin tr?ns (“over, across, beyond”). The meaning in Latvian would have been changed to “there” under the influence of kur.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): [tù?]
