Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Apparently as either "kur-uh" or the variant "kur-agk." I've always used the former when I imagine the word.

What's "kur-agk" meant to signify? gk clusters are hopeless to pronounce syllable-finally.

The way I used is similar to the second one: kur-AK.

I pronounce it like "hurrah", except with a "k" in front instead of an "h".

A layman's version of a guttural "k."

What the heck is a guttural "k"? Guttural is used to describe pretty much any back sound - incl perfectly normal 'k's, like in "kill".

Its kind of like the "ch" in German. Examples: Ich (I) and Achtung (attention).
