Etymology 3

edit

From Proto-Eastern Polynesian *uru (southwesterly wind);[1] perhaps originally a semantic extension of Etymology 1.

No words for the cardinal directions can be unambiguously reconstructed for Proto-Polynesian, as there would be little use for them on the small Polynesian islands. However, on the much larger North Island (Te Ika-a-Māui) and South Island (Te Waipounamu) of New Zealand, the usefulness of such terminology led the Māori to adopt this word for "west".[2]

  1. west

Usage notes

edit
  • In the sense of "bowl", "basket" or "container", the class of this word differs based on its determiner. If the referent is the content, uru is IIc class; if it's the owner, uru is IId class.
    • For example, "manioc bowl" i.e., a bowl that contains manioc inside it, is aîpĩuru. If this was in the third-person, "its bowl", with its refering to the manioc, it would be suru.
    • However, when refering to the person that owns or is holding the bowl, as in "his bowl", it would be sepuru.
  • The same distinction is made the sense of "vessel", though with a different word, ygara.

Etymology 2

edit

Unknown, possibly related to urubu.

Cognate with Guaraní uru.
