"aur" meaning in Welsh

See aur in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: /aɨ̯r/ [North-Wales], /ai̯r/ [South-Wales] Forms: aur [feminine, singular], aur [plural], no-table-tags [table-tags], aur [error-unrecognized-form], haur [prothesis-h]
Etymology: Inherited from Middle Welsh eur, from Proto-Brythonic *ėür, from Vulgar Latin, from Latin aureus (“golden”, adjective). The vowel au (/aɨ̯/) must have undergone internal i-affection, showing that this word is derived from the adjective aureus, not the noun aurum, which gave the now obsolete synonym awr (not to be confused with awr (“hour”) from hōra).
