		We divide lurs into 3 groups based on the construction technique: lurs that are hollowed out of a single piece of wood, lurs that are made from a piece of wood that is first split and later bound back together, and lurs that are simply bound together by a birch strip.
		On an ordinary lur it is possible, using overblowing technique, to produce pitches ranging from the 2nd up to the 6th or 8th harmonic of the harmonic series (natural scale).
		Lur and bukkehorn were used primarily for communication--either from people to animals, or from person to person.

		The story of the Lurs is one of strength and beauty, courage and pride, discrimination and prejudice, humiliation and poverty.
		Long neglected and marginally collected, the weaving of the Lurs can rightfully be claimed to be as elegant, colorful, timeless and striking as that of their better-known neighbors.
		And reasonably so, due to the infusion of Lurs into the Qashqa’i, Khamseh and other tribes and their dispersal to areas such as Veramin for reasons as simple as splitting up the tribe to reduce their power or providing government defense against other unruly tribes.

		The saddlebags woven by the Varamin Lurs utilize the familiar western Luri techniques of widely spaced weft wrappings and patches of pile at the bottoms of the bags.
		Most pile weavings (Lurs are an occasional exception) have only one weft shoot between rows of pile, probably another strike against a Varamin attribution.
		Another indicator of your rug being Lur rather than Kurd is the length of over two times the width, a common Luri characteristic.

		The instigator of the annual meetings at Lurs in the last week of August was Maximilien Vox, with whom Excoffon and I had become acquainted in Paris.
		After a visit to the ruined village of Lurs in 1951, Vox had appealed to a few people of proven typographical ability to join him in Lurs to debate subjects of mutual interest.
		That they are still so well attended is partly attributable to the role played by Excoffon from 1963 to 1968 as President of the Rendez-vous Graphhique de Lurs.

		But I spent a fortnight in that part of the country where one is less frequently murdered, and I saw the Lurs in their own medieval garb—the white tight-waisted coat with sleeves hanging in points from the elbow and white felt caps over the curls that hide their ears.
		As the aim of the Persian government is to have them all dressed à la Ferangi in a year’s time, with peaked képis and the Shah’s portrait stamped on the lining, it is worthwhile perhaps to give a picture of them as far as possible before too much tidiness spoils them.
		The Lurs of Kafrash, however, were not oppressed by their antique surroundings: they were as cheerful a lot of villains as you could wish to meet, and delighted with us for being, as they said, brave enough to come among them.

		In addition to these primary ethnic neighbors, there are many smaller ethnic groups whose territories border those of the Kurds, such as the Georgians (including the Lâz) and the Armenians to the north, the Azeris to the northeast, the Lurs to the southeast, and the Turkmens to the southwest.
		The assimilation process continues today and can, for example, be observed among the Laks, who, although they still speak a Kurdish dialect (see Laki) and practice a native Kurdish religion (see Yârsânism), have been more strongly associated with the neighboring Lurs than with other Kurds.
		The distinction between the Kurds and their ethnic neighbors remains most blurred in southern Kurdistan in the area where they neighbor the Lurs, that is, on the Hamadân-Kirmânshâh-llâm axis.
