urig
Alemannic German
Etymology
Adjectival formation from ur (adverb) + -ig. Suggested as the etymology of the toponym Uri (which in folk etymology is derived from Ur (“aurochs”)). Suggested by Wood[1] as cognate with Latin auster (“south wind”), Old High German ustar (“greedy, voracious”) (PIE root *h₂ews-).
Adjective
urig
- wild, tempestuous, raging (of the weather)
- uncouth, irascible (of people)
