cat

kasuur : cat

The Tarijan word for cat is kasuur.

Kasuur is a name for a tree that grows in South Africa which is also called Cheesewood.

In other languages:
In Hindi (tranliterated) "kasuur" means "fault, guilt".

How I came up with this word:
Kasuur is a mixture of the transliterated word for cat in Russian which is koshka (кошка), and the transliterated word for cat in Mongolian which is muur (муур).
