Old Norse

Etymology 1

From Proto-Norse ᚹᚨᚱᚢᛉ (waruʀ), further origin unclear. (This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.)

Noun

vǫr f (genitive varar, plural varar or varir)

  1. landing place, berth (for a boat)
Declension

Feminine u-stems (like Proto-Norse ᚹᚨᚱᚢᛉ (waruʀ)) were very rare and tended to be reanalysed. For other instances compare the two consonant stem nouns hǫnd f (hand), kinn f (cheek), and the ō-stem noun kvern, all of which descend from original feminine u-stems.
