Etymology
There are two principal sources considered for the word Kurgan:
 * 1) the 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬. Both are considered as a sound shifting of Old Turkic, from the word stem korı- ("to protect, defend") with the Old Turkic Suffix -gan forming proper names, a form which has been reintroduced into Turkish during World War II as.
 * 2) the Old Turkic word stem qur-, of which kurgan is a derivation, is rooted in the reconstructed Proto-Turkic *Kur- ("to erect (a building), to establish"). This word "kurgan" is sometimes hard to distinguish from Proto-Turkic form *Kōrɨ-kan ("fence, protection").

Noun

 * 1) castle, fortress
 * 2) mound, tell
