Runic: ᚷᚢᚱᚨ Pronunciation: /ˈɣu.rɑ̃/

noun · neuter · a-stem

half-digested stomach contents
manure; dung; feces

Etymology

Of uncertain origin. Bears strong resemblance to Old Irish gur (‘matter, pus’), suggesting a potential derivation from Proto-Indo-European *gʷʰer- (‘warm; hot’), though the correspondence of Proto-Indo-European *gʷʰ to Proto-Germanic *g is still on a matter of debate.
