Proto-Slavic

Etymology

U-vocalism of Proto-Slavic *dira, from the intensive stem of *dъrati (“to tear”) +‎ *-a, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *der- (“to tear”). Trubachev explains *-y- with the influence of prefixed forms in Proto-Slavic *u- such as Proto-Slavic *udъriti (“to flench”), which hardened the root vowel. A similar development is attested in Lithuanian dùrti (“to stab, to prick”), Latvian dur̃t (“to stab, to prick”)[1].
