kurt

== Central Franconian == === Alternative forms === kurz, korz (Moselle Franconian) koot (Kölsch) === Etymology === From Middle High German kurz, 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. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /kuə̯t/ === Adjective === kurt (masculine kurte, feminine and plural kurte or kurt, comparative kürter, superlative et kürzte or kürtste) (Ripuarian, north-western Moselle Franconian) short; not long == Czech == === Alternative forms === court (obsolete) === Etymology === Borrowed from English court. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈkurt] Rhymes: -urt === Noun === kurt m inan court (place arranged for playing the games of tennis, basketball, squash, badminton, volleyball and some other games) Synonym: dvorec ==== Declension ==== === Further reading === “kurt”, in Příruční slovník jazyka českého (in Czech), 1935–1957 “kurt”, in Slovník spisovného jazyka českého (in Czech), 1960–1971, 1989 “kurt”, in Internetová jazyková příručka (in Czech), 2008–2026 === Anagrams === krut kutr == Estonian == === Etymology === From Proto-Finnic *kurtti, of Baltic origin.

A. Baskakov, S.M. Šapšala, editor (1973), “kurt”, in Karaimsko-Russko-Polʹskij Slovarʹ [Karaim-Russian-Polish Dictionary], Moscow: Moskva, →ISBN == Latvian == === Etymology === From Proto-Baltic *kur-, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *kēr-, *ker-, 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”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [kūrt], IPA(key): [kûrt] === Verb === kurt (transitive, 1st conjugation, present kuru, kur, kur, past kūru) to light, to ignite (to make something start burning or producing heat) kurt uguni, ugunskuru ― to light a fire kurt krāsni, plīti ― to light the oven, the stove to heat (to burn fuel in a stove in order to create heat in a certain room, building, etc.) kurt pirti ― to heat the bath, sauna (figuratively) to encourage, to incite kurt naidu ― to light, incite hatred ==== Usage notes ==== Level intonation is the standard intonation for the term kurt (“to light, ignite”) according to Latviešu etimoloģijas vārdnīca. Pronunciation with a broken intonation is very common, however. ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Synonyms ==== dedzināt kurināt ==== Derived terms ==== prefixed verbs: other derived terms: kurināt kurties kurtuve ==== Related terms ==== iekurs ugunskurs === References === == Livonian == === Alternative forms === kūrt === Etymology === Unknown.
