ter ore komen

Literally, “to come to ear”, with a fossiled dative. The feminine dative ter indicates that oor should be feminine too.

This kind of fossilized survival of an otherwise superseded grammatical gender for a noun is not unheard of in Dutch; compare for example the gender of the noun tijd in te zijner tijd / tand des tijds and some expressions involving the noun dood (see entry).

Zijn daden zijn mij ter ore gekomen.
