Etymology

Uncertain. Probably related to the synonymous words found in Northwest Caucasian and Armenian: Abkhaz а-у́ра (a-úra), Abaza урым (urəm), уы́рма (wə́rma), Kabardian ур (wur), умэ (wumɛ) (possibly), Adyghe умэ (wumɛ) (possibly), Old Armenian ուռն (uṙn), Middle Armenian վռ- (vṙ-). A native origin has been proposed for Kabardian ур (wur) and Old Armenian ուռն (uṙn) (see those). Accordingly, the South Caucasian terms have been considered either Circassian or Armenian borrowings.
