copur : copper
The Illunse word for copper (metal) is copur. Copur is an unusual last name. In Turkish similar word çopur means pit, pock marked. Copur is the name of a city in Turkey.
This word is a mixture of the Late Latin word for copper which is cuprum (the chemical symbol for copper is Cu), and the Old English word for copper which is copor.
Previously I used ár, which better translates as ore, as the Old English word for copper. My old word for copper was cuar.
