𐌖𐌊𐌓𐌉𐌐𐌄𐌓

From Proto-Italic *okris, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂óḱris (“top, protrusion, sharp edge”). Compare Old Latin ocris (“rugged mountain”) and Ancient Greek ὄκρις (ókris, “prominence; roughness”). The nominative 𐌖𐌊𐌀𐌓 (ukar), ocar does not phonologically agree with the stem okri- and could hence be analysed as from a byform suffixed with -ari- or -āri-.
