Line 1:
The [[Jùr River]], also commonly known as '''Veljùr''' (Great Jùr) and alternatively as '''Jjùra''' is the longest river in [[West Alaxia]] and the main river of [[Sinkayya]].
It has historically played a part in the trade and cultural exchange between central and west alaxia,
being both the main route of access during the [[Bokanism|bokanist conquests]], as well as the belegar wars.
 
==Etymology==
The modern name "Jùr" comes from the [[Sinkayyi Languagelanguage|sinkajjì]] term of the same name, itself a corruption of the old sinkajjì '''Xhura/Xhyura''', which descends from even older '''Kxwuʼrayh''', thought to come from ''Akxwoʼnʼrayis'' which could beroughly translated as "Mastermaster waters", or "Chiefchief waters".
The [[Atlantia|Thalatene]] name for the river, ''Kurays'', comes from the same root.
