Ur-Lisp means “original” Lisp, in the sense of “origin”. “ur-“ is sometimes used as a prefix (Ur-Fascism of Umberto Eco comes to mind). In this case I guess it refers to the first Lisp, or maybe just the first prototypical Lisp, the founding father of all modern Lisps, I haven’t read the article yet.
