Etymology[edit]
From Middle Welsh hwyr, from Proto-Brythonic *huɨr; perhaps a borrowing from Latin sērus[1] (although Latin loanwords in Proto-Brythonic usually retain word-initial s), or a native formation such as a blend of the ancestor of hir (“long”) with its comparative hwy, from the same root.
Pronunciation[edit]
- (North Wales) IPA(key): /huːɨ̯r/
- (South Wales) IPA(key): /hʊi̯r/
- Rhymes: -ʊɨ̯r
