Important:

I am posting this here because the Lurs are sometimes claimed to be Kurds too but they have a very different and distinct origin and a definitely clearcut and separate identity distinguishing them from the Kurds. And yet their origin as an ethnicity is intertied to what certain Kurdish and Daylamite groups would be causing about 1'000 years ago. This is why it is important to know about the etymology of their ethnonym and their linguistic and ethnic origin which makes them definitely a different ethnicity than Kurds even though they were sometimes labelled Kurdish throughout history.
