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.
