In Sumerian mythology,Kur was primarily a mountain or mountains,&usually referred to the Zagros mountains to the east of Sumer.It is possible that this name for the area coincides with the still present modern day Kurds who inhabit much of the Zagros mountains.The cuneiform for"kur"was written ideographically with the cuneiform sign 𒆳, a pictograph of a mountain.It can also mean "foreign land".Although the word for earth was Ki, Kur came to also mean land, & Sumer itself, was called "Kur-gal"
