Central Franconian
Etymology 1
From Middle High German durren, northern variant of turren, from Proto-West Germanic *durʀan (“to dare”). The sch < rs developed regularly in the present singular and in the past forms. The infinitive and present plural are backformations (replacing original *durre, *dürre, attested as döre in Low Franconian). This also explains the intervocalic /ʒ/, which otherwise occurs only in borrowings and onomatopoeias. Semantically merged with dürve.
