From Middle Skundavisk ''dur'', from Old Skundavisk ''duru'', from Halmisk ''duru'', ''duruŕ'', from Proto-Germanic ''*durz''. Originally a consonant-stem, the word shifted to an u-stem early in Halmisk, probably to avoid the direct contact between the similar sounding letters ''r'' and ''ŕ''.
From Middle Skundavisk ''dur'', from Old Skundavisk ''duru'', from Halmisk ''duru'', ''duruŕ'', from Proto-Germanic ''*durz''. Originally a consonant-stem, the word shifted to an u-stem early in Halmisk, probably to avoid the direct contact between the similar sounding letters ''r'' and ''ŕ''. As the original consonant-stem and u-stem noun classes merged in Late Old Skundavisk, this shift became invisible and ''dur'' behaves like any modern regularly derived consonant-stem.
