The origin is uncertain. Usually considered an inheritance from Proto-Indo-European *guh₁-ro/eh₂- from the root *gew- (“to bend”) and cognate with Ancient Greek γῦρος (gûros, “ring, circle”), γυρός (gurós, “round”), Old Armenian կոր (kor, “curved”). Awgerean compares with Persian کر (korr, “sandy ground where water collects and filters itself clear; well; small cistern or reservoir; Babylonian dry measure of six ass-loads or sixty قفیز (qafiz)”), which is from Arabic كُرّ (kurr, “dry measure”). Compare also Arabic قُرْقُور (qurqūr), Classical Syriac ܩܪܩܘܪܐ (qarqūrā), Ancient Greek κέρκουρος (kérkouros), denoting various kinds of boats and ships. See also կրիայ (kriay).
