Comments: Secondarily, '(morally) crooked, perverse, wrong', etc. However, Michelena (1961: 271–272) suggested that makur is a ma- derivative of the verb gur-tu ‘kneel, bow’, though without explaining the difference in voicing. Alternatively, this could be a formation related to Bsq *oker̄ 'bent', etc. (q.v. = PNC *=ŏḳŭr), with the prefix *ma=.
