An Etymological Dictionary of the Norn Language in Shetland (1928–1932)
Jakobsen, Jakob
*jora [jōra], sb., the ear (organ of hearing). Fo. Now superseded by the more frequent “lug” (L.Sc.), and “ear”. Three different forms, viz.: *ora [*ōra], *jora and *øra [ø̄ra], have been preserved in sense of ear, in two compds.: a) uppo(m)jora [op·a(m)jō·ra], prop. three words: *upp um øyra, up around the ear, up behind the ear, reported from Fo.; for the colloquial use of this compd. see further uppomjora, adv. From N.I. uppomøra [op·amø̄·ra] is reported as an obsolete form, b) ornaskap, -skep [ōr··naskäp·, -skæp·, -sᶄɛp·] (Y. and U. occas.), ørnaskep [ø̄r··nasᶄɛp·, -skæp·] (U. and Fe.), prop. form of ear-mark in sheep [*øyrnaskap]. For the further use of this compd. see ornaskap and ørnaskep, sbs. O.N. øyra (eyra, Icel.), n., the ear. The forms jora and orna- presuppose an *oura, *ōra with dropped i-mutation. orna-, ørna- are gen. pl.: O.N. øyrna.
