Cúar

Gender: Masculine

Pronunictiation: CÚ-ar
Meaning: bent, crooked, curved

Comes directly from the Old Irish word cúar, which means "bent, crooked, curved". (A nicer explanation would be that it derives from cú, the Irish word for "hound", but of course, that's not the true etymology, so we won't be mentioning it here, will we?)

In Irish mythology, Cúar was one of the sons of the Scottish warrior woman Scáthach. The hero Cúchulainn was taught martial arts and combat by her. Unfortunately, we know nothing about the character of Cúar.
