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 ~~Language~~language\|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'' ~~meaning~~roughly translated as "master waters" or "chief waters". The [[Atlantia\|Thalatene]] name for the river, ''Kurays'', comes from the same root.
