<Also, attested is "Gk <churra>, a call used by swineherds;
<churrabios>, swine-collar; <churrabos>, a bird."  Cf., Pol <kura>, hen.<

Polish kura is from all-Slavic *kur7 probably meaning "rooster, cock >
penis". It's probably of onomatopoeic origin, although there have been some
comparisons of Slavic *kur7va (< *kur7) "whore" with that eng. word - whore,
(Germ. Hüre) which is very doubtful.
