воудра

Old Novgorodian

воудра (sense 1))
воудра (sense 2)

Etymology

Inherited from Proto-Slavic *vỳdra, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *ū́ˀdrāˀ, from Proto-Indo-European *udréh₂ (“otter”), form of *udrós (“of water, aquatic”), from *wed- (“water”). First attested in c. 1200‒1220 as воудоро, i.e. воудъръ (vudŭrŭ, gen. pl.) with an unclear inserted vowel -дър- (-dŭr-). The initial воу- (vu-) reflects the Old Novgorodian dialectal transition ꙑ (y) > оу (u) after a labial consonant (i.e. assimilative labialization).[1][2] Compare Upper Sorbian wudra and Lower Sorbian wudra. Cognate with Old East Slavic вꙑдра (vydra), Old Ruthenian вы́дра (výdra), Polish wydra.
