(h)[[όρϜος]] (= Corc.) can stand for still older <b class="b3">*ϜόρϜος</b> (Schwyzer 306 a. 226 f.) and can be connected wih Lat. [[urvāre]] (<b class="b2">amb-</b>) <b class="b2">surround with a (boundary)furrow</b> (Fest. from Enn., Dig.) as a cognate; the basic noun [[urvus]] [[circuitus civitatis]] (gloss.; transm.

Here also Osc. <b class="b2">uruvú</b> from PItal. <b class="b2">*urvā</b>, if with Schulze ZGLE 549 n. 1 a.o. [[boundaryfurrow]], [[border]] (cf. Vetter Hb. d. ital. Dial. 1, 442). Further connection wih [[ἐρύω]] [[draw]] (s.v.) is then possible. -- Also an alternative basis <b class="b3">*ὄρϜος</b> (w. second. asper) can be combined with Lat. [[urvus]] (then from <b class="b2">*r̥u̯os</b>; to <b class="b3">ὀρύ-σσω</b>?, s.v.). -- WP. 1, 293 a. 2, 352 f., W.-Hofmann s. [[urvus]] w. further lit. S. also [[οὑροί]] and 2. [[οὖρον]].
