Middle Welsh

Etymology

From Proto-Brythonic *ėür, from Latin aureus (“golden”, adjective). The vowel of the Proto-Brythonic form has undergone internal i-affection, showing that this word is derived from the adjective aureus, not the noun aurum, which gave the synonym awr (not to be confused with awr (“hour”) from hōra).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /eʉ̯r/

Noun

eur m

1. gold
   • 14th century, anonymous author, edited by R. L. Thomson, Pwyll Pendeuic Dyuet (Mediaeval and Modern Welsh Series; vol. I), Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, published 1980, page 20, lines 546–47:

     Sef enw a dodet arnaw, Gwri Wallt Euryn; yr hynn a oed ar y ben o wallt, kyuelynet oed a’r eur.

     And the name which they gave unto him was Gwri Wallt Euryn, because what hair was upon his head was as yellow as gold.
