nounmasculinea-stemwet earth or clay, mud; sand, sedimentsea, waterUncertain. Possibly from pre-Germanic *ouh₁-ro-, a secondary o-grade formation related to the Proto-Indo-European nominal r-stem *weh₁-r- ~ *uh₁-r-; compare Vedic Sanskrit वार् and Old Prussian wursKroonen 2013: 42Wodtko et al. 2008: 715. The o-grade required for *ouh₁-ro- is morphologically unexpected Kroonen 2013: 42. The Vedic comparison is not decisive, since वार् may instead continue earlier *wéd-r within the heteroclitic *wéd-r ~ *ud-én- paradigm Kloekhorst 2013: 107–108. Lithuanian jáura and jū́ra may also belong here Jakob 2024: 86–87; Petit 2010a: 9 derives jū́ra from *ūr- < PIE *h₁uH-r-, with secondary initial j- after the full-grade, jáura < *h₁ewH-r-. If the unspecified laryngeal *H was *h₁, Kroonen’s pre-Germanic *ouh₁-ro- could formally represent the corresponding o-grade *h₁owh₁r-. Alternatively, *auraz may be related to Germanic *ūrą and Old Irish úr, úirKroonen 2013: 42, though this Celto-Germanic comparison is not secure van Sluis et al. 2023: 223.
