Sumerian myth about Enki and Ninhursag describes primordial waters Kur from the Lower World

that went up to the surface and threatened to cover everything with water causing flood, but they were

kept back by Ninurta, who was the son of Enlil – he put on Kur the pile of stones.

It seems to be connected to the first tumulous or barrow and that root stayed in many languages like

Polish 'kurhan', Russian 'кypгaн'.

Ainu were to derived from the sexual relationship between a princess and a dog (wolf). As it was said

before, English 'cur' means 'mongrel, but also a person who is thought to be worthless'. In Sikhu

tribe they added the expression 'Kaur' after female first name, what translates as 'princess'. Mind also

shells of cowrie (cowry) that were used in many parts of the world not only as money (Africa and

southern Asia) but also for decorative purposes (Kalash people in Pakistan or mountaineers in Poland

near Zakopane). Goddesses Kauri appear in Tibetan Book of the Dead.

In India a sigh of circle, over which there is a cross, is called Kuri and belongs to misteries of god

Wisznu.

One of the most moral Old Prussians (many of them killed by Knights of the Cross in Northeastern

from stone, found also in other countries.
