Pronunciation edit

Etymology 1 edit

From Proto-Polynesian *huru, from Proto-Oceanic *surup, from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *surup (“enter, penetrate”).

Verb edit

uru (passive urua or uruhina)

  1. to enter, go in[1]
  2. to possess
  3. to enlist, enrol, join, be included

Etymology 2 edit

From Proto-Polynesian *qulu, from Proto-Oceanic *qulu, from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *qulu, from Proto-Austronesian *quluh (“head”).

    Who is the leader of this party?
  3. top, upper end
  4. point (of a weapon, etc.)
  5. hair (of the head, in the plural)

Etymology 3 edit

From Proto-Eastern Polynesian *uru (“southwesterly wind”);[2] 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".[3]

uru

  1. west[1]

  1. basket
  2. bowl
    Synonym: kuîmbuka

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.

Noun edit

uru (IIc class pluriform, absolute uru, R1 ruru, R2 suru) (possessable)
