Qir
And Kir
Proper noun referring to a fortified city or region named Qîyr, mentioned in prophetic texts as both an origin and destination for exiles and as a location in Moab. In these contexts, it denotes either an Assyrian location associated with Arameans, or a principal city of Moab. The term can also be used more broadly for places marked by fortification, but as a proper name it remains specifically tied to these two geographic entities.
